Hi,
I was going through RedHat’s documentation on naming conflicts. Here’s what it
says at the beginning
(https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_directory_server/10/html/administration_guide/managing_replication-solving_common_replication_conflicts
<https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_directory_server/10/html/administration_guide/managing_replication-solving_common_replication_conflicts>):
14.23.1. Solving Naming Conflicts
When two entries are created with the same DN on different servers, the
automatic conflict resolution procedure during replication renames the last
entry created, including the entry's unique identifier in the DN. Every
directory entry includes a unique identifier given by the operational attribute
nsuniqueid. When a naming conflict occurs, this unique ID is appended to the
non-unique DN.
<>
What I don’t understand is how conflicts can happen at all if the last one
wins?
Also, they are talking about solutions to the conflicts and specifically
renaming the user that has nsuniqueid prepended. Does that assume that the
conflicting user is actually another person? Or does it mean the conflicting
record denotes the same user? If it’s the same user, shouldn’t the conflicting
record just be removed?
Really confused about the nature of the problem and the suggested solutions.
Thanks!
