I'm having a little trouble creating a simple, master/slave replication configuring using FDS 1.1.3. I'm following the Red Hat documentation here: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/8.0/Creating_the_Supplier_Bind_DN_Entry.html but am having trouble creating the supplier bind DN.

This is what I'm appending to /etc/dirsrv/slapd-ldap/dse.ldif:

dn: cn=replication manager,cn=config
objectClass: inetorgperson
objectClass: person
objectClass: top
cn: replication manager
sn: RM
userPassword: secretPassword
passwordExpirationTime: 20380119031407Z

However, as soon as I start the directory server back up, the changes I made to dse.ldif disappear. Am I missing something?
Yes. You cannot edit dse.ldif while the server is running. If you really want to edit dse.ldif, you must shutdown the server first.

If you did stop the server first, make sure there is a blank line before dn: cn=replication manager,cn=config - a blank line is the entry delimiter in LDIF - if there is no blank line, the server may just report a warning to the error log and continue.

I definitely shut down the server first, and I thought I did have a blank line preceding the entry. Let me look again and see what's happening, in the end I just used the console :-)

But you do not have to do that - you can just use ldapmodify -a to add this entry while the server is running

Thanks!


Chris
