HI! I have a replication topology with providers running with MMR and a layer of r/o consumers.. - spread across three data centers - in two different countries (DE and foreign country)
Network traffic between the countries has higher latency so consumers are only accessing providers within the same country. Write operations go nearly 100% to a single provider in Germany. All systems are using these overlays: - slapo-ppolicy (mostly for password expiry) - slapo-lastbind overlays - slapo-accesslog (yes, also on consumers) Now occasionally contextCSN values differ most times for a couple of minutes on the consumers in the foreign country from their local providers. I cannot tell exactly which conditions are causing this. But I observed that most times there was a login failure on the provider in Germany which results in 'pwdChangedTime' being set and replicated to the consumers. Most times followed by 'authTimestamp' being correctly set. So I wonder whether the differences of the contextCSN values could be caused by 'pwdChangedTime' and 'authTimestamp' being replicated to providers but not to consumers. Any clue? Thanks in advance. Ciao, Michael.
