I'm getting this error when trying to get N-Way Multimaster configuration working between two servers using cn=config (Runtime Configuration) method:
"do_syncrep2: rid=002 got search entry without SyncState control" >From some searching around, I found out this normally means the provider side doesn't have the syncprov overlay configured correctly. I think I have the correct syncprov overlay configured in both my servers (I get the same error on both), but I must have something messed up. I did find this very helpful link in the SUSE bugzilla database (bug 384787): https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=384787 This cleared up some confusion I had with regard to the olcModuleLoad: syncprov.la which the OpenLDAP documentation describes as needed in cn=config. Apparently that is out of date info according to Ralf H. who responded to the above report. He mentions that the overlays are compiled into slapd now, so this isn't needed. Thanks Ralf! Anyway, with or without the olcModuleLoad stuff, my configuration still doesn't work correctly. Here it is, and any help is very much appreciated! Note that I left out the schema ldif files below, they are the following standard ones: core, cosine, inetorgperson, nis.
