Hi all, Me too I am interested in knowing how forward_updates works in a multi-master environment .
If someone could share some experience about this, I would appreciate very much! :-) Thanks in advance Marco ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jonathan Clarke <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 12:33 PM Subject: Re: syncrepl not working for pwdFailureTime attribute To: [email protected] On 02/03/2010 11:51, Alex Samad wrote: > Hi > > I have setup a multi master as per the online doco. > > When I was checking recently, the 2 DB were out of sync, some record > hadn't been transferred over, I force this by setting -c rid=,csn= > > > But whilst checking this, I noticed that some attributes haven't been > moved across pwdFailureTime was on a record on the primary ldap server and > not on the secondary master, try what I could I couldn't force it over > > is this a feature or a bug ? > The password policy overlay writes updates to the local database only, by default. As of recent-ish versions of OpenLDAP 2.4.*, an option is available to forward these updates via the frontend. The man page describes it: ppolicy_forward_updates > Specify that policy state changes that result from Bind > operations (such as recording > failures, lockout, etc.) on a consumer should be forwarded to > a master instead of > being written directly into the consumer’s local database. > This setting is only use‐ > ful on a replication consumer, and also requires the > updateref setting and chain > overlay to be appropriately configured. > This option was clearly designed for read-only slaves. I'm not sure what the behaviour would be in a multi-master setup. You could try this anyway. Any ideas from someone else?
