Dear all,

we would like to integrate an apacheDS server into our existing
environment and would need the replication functionality for that.
On stackoverflow we found a post saying that "[t]here was some bug in
apacheds 2.0 - M15 Version regarding replication." (
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18495894/how-to-
setup-replication-on-apache-directory-server)

it is not clear on what was the error encountered by this user, I suspect
that he didn't restart the server
after adding the configuration, other than that I don't see any problem in
the config

Thank you, restarting the server did the trick! (I thought I had tried that, sorry!)


(note that you don't need to configure 'ads-replReqHandler' unless you have
a custom replication handler class)

That is interesting. Does that mean that every apacheDS server is automatically configured to provide replications and only the client needs to be configured (in a standard setting)?


I could not find anything about this bug in your bug tracking system or on
the mailing list archive. Unfortunately, we encounter the same issue using
the latest rpm version on Scientific Linux 6.5.
Is there a patch for this issue? The circumstances in our setup do not
substantiate the compilation from the current svn trunk, as was the
soulution for the thread initiator on stackoverflow.

try restarting the server after adding the configuration, let us know if
you still have an issue.

I still have an issue that is a bit more complex. The circumstances are the following: There is one machine running apacheDS storing already some real world production data in a partition we created (o=Universitaet Tuebingen,c=DE). The ultimate goal is to replicate the data in this partition to an OpenLDAP system, which we so far did not manage to do. Short version of the question: Is that possible at all and if so, what are the steps to take?

Our plan to tackle the issue, was to start with a virtual machine with apacheDS replicate dummy data with a structure like the production data to another apacheDS instance on a second virtual machine.

After your hint with the restart, I managed to replicate a user under ou=users,ou=system from one VM to the other. I am now wondering how replication of a partition (or data therein) is meant to be configured.


My current configuration on the client looks like this:

dn: ads-replConsumerId=2,ou=replConsumers,ads-serverId=ldapServer,ou=servers,a
  ds-directoryServiceId=default,ou=config
ads-replconsumerid: 2
ads-replstrictcertvalidation: FALSE
ads-replusetls: FALSE
ads-replsearchtimeout: 0
ads-replsearchfilter: (objectClass=*)
ads-replsearchsizelimit: 0
ads-replattributes: *
ads-replrefreshinterval: 60000
ads-repluserpassword: secret
ads-repluserdn: uid=admin,ou=system
ads-replprovport: 10389
ads-replprovhostname: 10.129.0.16
ads-replrefreshnpersist: TRUE
ads-replsearchscope: sub
ads-searchbasedn: ou=myOrganizationalUnit,o=Universitaet Tuebingen,c=DE
ads-enabled: FALSE
objectclass: ads-replConsumer
objectclass: ads-base
objectclass: top
ads-replaliasderefmode: never

An ldapsearch from the client machine searching through ou=myOrganizationalUnit,o=Universitaet Tuebingen,c=DE on the server yields a result for a user uid=noms,ou=users,ou=myOrganizationalUnit,o=Universitaet Tuebingen,c=DE

I created a partition o=Universitaet Tuebingen,c=DE on the client in the hope that this would help. Afterwards I created a ou=myOrganizationalUnit as well. Even after a restart I cannot see any user data on the client. What am I doing wrong? Are there any logs that would tell me what is going on?

Thank you very much for your help!

Best,
Nomi Meixner
