Re.

I have some additionnal questions, if I may ?

Let's say I have 4 ipa masters :
S1
S2
S3
S4

1. When a modification is performed on a specific server, S1 for example,
then :
- is it the replication plugin on S2, S3, and S4 which replicates the
modification ?
- Or is it the replication plugin on S1 which replicates to S2, S3 and S4 ?

2. To come back to my original question, so this is the replication plugin
of S2, S3 and S4 which tries to create the entry cn=repl keep alive in the
ldap ? Not the the replication plugin from the S1, right ?

3. In the log message I can see a number with the "repl keep alive", do you
know what it means ? Is it the frequency of the replication ?

4. When you say this is to avoid replicas to become obsolete, what do you
mean ? If I understood well, there is one entry in the ldap for cn=repl
keep alive, are there multiple attributes for this entry ?

Sorry for all these questions, I'm a little bit noob here.

Best regards.
