samba - Feb 2007 - Replicated Failover Domain Controller and file server using LDAP

Hello Samba Users,

Simo and I have put together a new document which includes the latest
replication methods using Openldap.

Instead of using the ageing slurpd for replication (which is no longer
actively developed or supported); Openldap as of version 2.3 supports a new
feature called delta-syncrepl. 

http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Replicated_Failover_Domain_Controller_and_fi
le_server_using_LDAP

This is currently the only Samba document available that supports this new
replication feature.

Please take the time to have a look through this new "how-to"; your
feedback
and/or criticism would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Adrian Sender.

Hello,

Unless I missed something, it appears to me that in the slurpd version
of the master slapd.conf, you don't need any of the
        by dn="cn=syncuser,dc=differentialdesign,dc=org" read
In fact the only place where the syncuser dn has to appear is
in the replica directive.

I guess this is not the case for the syncrepl versions
because of the pull model.

Best regards,
Thierry.
