Hi all,

I have a silly problem. We are using your distro of openLDAP and for some
reason the syncrepl replication is not working properly. It works correctly
only when changes are made on one of the servers by the admin user. We are
also using the password changing web interface so users can change their own
passwords. So hare is what is happening.

When I change the password on one of the servers all works fine.
 It makes a note of the fields:
pwdChangedTime: 20120426120303Z
modifiersName: cn=administrator,dc=home,dc=com

And the whole thing gets replicated.

When the user is using the Password changing interface. On one of the
servers (the one the pass changing interface is connected to):

pwdChangedTime: 20120426115847Z
modifiersName: uid=johnsmith,ou=People,dc=home,dc=com

And it is all fine on that server but that password change does not get
replicated to the other servers at all. I have tested replication with a
creation and deletion of a new account and it all works fine and still the
password change does not get across to the other servers. It is like
OpenLdap thinks that this change is not worthy of replication.

I have noticed that there is a log file here:

/usr/local/openldap/var/openldap-data/log.0000000001

But when I open it I get some gibberish ( that I can not copy and paste even
see pic attached) and my computer starts working very slow.

Do you have any ideas why the password would not replicate?

Syncrepl is configured to use the administrator user for replication:

syncrepl rid=001
  provider=ldap://172.16.2.3:389
  type=refreshAndPersist
  retry="60 +"
  schemachecking=on
  searchbase="dc=home,dc=com"
  attrs="*,+"
  bindmethod=simple
  binddn="cn=administrator,dc=home,dc=com"
  credentials=xxxxxxxxxxx
