Oho, so you agree that the OpenLDAP Guide Section 18.3.3 "N-Way Multi-Master" fails to work as is with the Section 10.2 "Creating a database off-line", specifically with Section 10.2.1 "The slapadd program"? And you're failing or refusing to provide a LDIF file for the above that that actually wor

Hi Philip, If you can't post it, could you please email me a *working* LDIF file of Section 18.3.3 "N-Way Multi-Master"? (I can substitute my real values if you keep the "$xxx" labels in there, of course.) My comments in-line below. Thanks in advance Fal On Thu, Jan 3, 2013 at 8:02 PM, Philip

Hey Quanah, Oh no, my question was whether an arbitrary external variable (eg. URI1) could be set (eg. to ldap://host1.hq.mycompany.com:389/) inside an LDIF file and used in subsequent places in the file. (to avoid having to type in the value in multiple places). I suppose not? Assuming not, I ty
