Ok. I have no problem with that, but... Shouldn't it be better behaviour to show this changes in 389DS? At least in the audit log.

These changes are not showing up in the audit log? That sounds like a bug, which may have been fixed after version 1.2.5

Because if you are looking for an change date or modifiers DN and you have no logs, how can you get where the change comes from?

The access log by default logs operations from _external_ clients. The way winsync works is that it polls AD for changes and writes them using _internal_ operations. So if having winsync operations in the access log is critically important to you, and you can tolerate the noise of all of the additional internal operations, then you can enable access logging of internal operations. The reason why we do not enable access logging of internal operations by default is that it adds a _lot_ of information to the access log, something that most admins do not want to have to sift through.

Also, if you are looking for something specific (e.g. debugging), you can enable the Replication error log level http://port389.org/wiki/FAQ#Troubleshooting


In my case, I am not the AD admin and I would like to probe that some changes had been made in AD and replicated to 389DS.

See above.

Moses.

    I think there have been a misunderstood. The problem isn't the
    codification.

    If we change the givenname (for example) in AD then the
    replication agreement between 389DS and AD writes that change in
    LDAP (It doesn't matter what type of change, base64 or not), but
    the 389DS logs doesn't show that "update" in the attribute.

    Right.  The winsync operations are _internal_ operations. You'll
    have to enable access logging of internal operations to see these
    in the access log.



    Eventually, I look for that change in another server with
    multimaster replication and I saw the change. ¿Is that normal? I
    mean:

    AD <==========> 389 DS (1) <==========> 389 DS (2)
    make a                    Recive the change               Recive
    the change from 389DS(1)
    change                    but doesn't show it                and
    show the change in the logs.
    and sends                in his logs
    it to 389DS(1)           ¿why doesn't it show
                                    the change?

            The problem is that the sn and givenName attributes

            readable.


        Is it base64 encoded in AD, or only in 389?
        Have you base64 decoded one of the values to see what it is?
        Is it base64 encoded as seen by ldapsearch, or is it actually
        base64 encoded in the db?  Note that in LDAP (but not
        necessarily in AD, which violates several LDAP standards), if
        there is trailing whitespace in an attribute value,
        ldapsearch will base64 encode the value when it displays it,
        since the trailing whitespace is not "visible".



            I'm not sure how to get around that myself.

                Hello,

                    Unfortunately in our organization we have a
                replication agreement between
                389 DS and an Active Directory.

                    For some reason, some Active Directory admin has
                run a script which has
                change the "givenname" and "sn" attrs (now they are
                in base64) and that
                change have been replicated to the 389 DS (1).

                    The issue is: This changes coming from
                replication aren't shown in the
                server logs with the AD agreement, I saw them in the
                access file and audit
                file but from another 389 DS (2) server with
                multimaster replication
                agreement not in the server with the AD agreement ¿Is
                this normal? We are
                using 1.2.5 version.


                I don't understand what the problem is.  Can you be
                more specific?


                  AD <=====> 389 DS (1)  <=====> 389 DS (2)
