[389-users] BER Size

[Sergei Gerasenko]

Hi,

I just discovered that I have a mismatch of BER sizes (nsslapd-maxbersize) between some of
my masters. On the masters that we consider the authorative ones, the BER size is (cough,
cough) 209M while in the rest of the environment is the default 2M. I do see occasional
errors on the 2M masters complaining and suggesting to increase the BER size. A couple of
questions:

1. If the BER size of the supplier exceeds that of the consumer, will it be automatically
split into smaller chunks or will the update just fail without any retries?
2. Should I match the BER size accross the environment? I think it’s obvious, but still
asking just in case.

Thanks!
