Hello,

I feel a little bit spaming this list, but still - how to setup
multi-master?
Reading

http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html
gave me impression that simply adding serverID in global (above database)
section, syncrepl and overlay syncprov in database section should give me
multi master setup. THis did worked - meaning I got the same data on both
servers, but I couldn't make updates to either of servers. Google says
absolutely nothing about that. The error is "shadow context; no update
referral at ..." Adding updateref directive to conf file seemed to me wrong,
because multi master is meant to be multi write nodes setup, so I didn't
tried that. After about four hours of searching for any full working example
of multi-master implementation I decided to put mirror mode true on both
servers at the end of conf file - that did the trick.
So do I need add mirror mode or not? It is not clear the difference of
multi-master and mirror mode, which I asked on different message.
I didn't tried setting mirror mode false and see if updates are working, but
if this is what I missed, then it is very strange, that official
administrators guide is missing such a key point.

Thanks a lot if anybody would explain my mistakes
Liutauras
