I'm trying to configure replication between two hosts using the following
as a guideline:
If you already have an existing database, you likely need to slapcat it on
the master, re-import it with slapadd, using the -q and -w flags so that a
correctly contextCSN value can be stored at the database root. Then export
that database and import it on the replica with the -q passed to slapadd so
that the replica has a valid sync cookie.
I would also note that back-hdb is deprecated, back-mdb is the supported
backend, and the default build from RedHat/CentOS should generally be
updated to the current release if you want to do replication. I also
strongly advise configuring delta-syncrepl based replication rather than
standard sync replication.
For a current version of OpenLDAP, you have three options:
a) You can use the builds from the LTB project found at
<https://ltb-project.org/documentation/openldap-rpm#yum_repository>. These
install into /usr/local, so are isolated from the system libraries, etc.
Fixes made after 2.4.48 will not be included in these builds.
b) You can use the drop-in replacement builds from Symas:
<https://repo.symas.com/sofl/rhel7/>. Any critical fixes post 2.4.48 will
be added to these builds.
c) You can build and maintain your own OpenLDAP packages.
