4:55 p.m.
Note: I have searched through years past in 389-users and have found a few
others experiencing the same problem, yet I could not find any resolution.
I am attempting to setup chain on update per
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:ChainOnUpdate
The packages installed are:
389-admin-console-1.1.8-1.el6.noarch
389-ds-1.2.2-1.el6.noarch
389-ds-base-1.2.9.14-1.el6_2.2.x86_64
389-console-1.1.7-1.el6.noarch
389-admin-console-doc-1.1.8-1.el6.noarch
389-ds-base-libs-1.2.9.14-1.el6_2.2.x86_64
389-dsgw-1.1.7-2.el6.x86_64
389-ds-console-1.2.6-1.el6.noarch
389-ds-console-doc-1.2.6-1.el6.noarch
389-adminutil-1.1.14-2.el6.x86_64
389-admin-1.1.25-1.el6.x86_64
The justification for use of chain_on_update is that our clients are “dumb”
and unable to follow referrals.
As a POC, I am testing with two servers: be1.foo.com (Master) and
be2.foo.com (Consumer)
Prior to following the instructions in the Howto:ChainOnUpdate (linked
above) the environment operated as follows:
Scenario A)
Client.foo.com attempts to modify be1.foo.com -> Allowed
Change made by client.foo.com to be1.foo.com is replicated to be2.foo.com
Ldapsearch of both searvers shows the item was properly replicated, value
is the same on be1 and be2
-----
Scenario B)
Client.foo.com attempts to modify be2.foo.com -> Not allowed, given referral
Upon following the instructions in the aforementioned howto the environment
operates as follows:
Scenario A)
Client.foo.com attempts to modify be1.foo.com -> Allowed
Change made by client.foo.com to be1.foo.com is replicated to be2.foo.com
Ldapsearch of both searvers shows the item was properly replicated, value
is the same on be1 and be2
-----
Scenario B)
Client.foo.com attempts to modify be2.foo.com -> Allowed
Change made by client.foo.com **SHOULD** have been handled by the chaining
backend and modified on be1
Ldapsearch of both servers shows the item was modified on be2 but not be1
(be1 still has the old value)
It seems the writes from client.foo.com to be2.foo.com are being committed
to be local database (userRoot) instead of being handled by the chaining
backend (chainbe1).
As the howto suggests, I am using the replication manager for the proxy
auth. I have confirmed the credentials on all servers.

Any help in getting ChainOnUpdate to work with my 389 servers would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
