[Fedora-directory-users] perl script for setting up replication without console

[Ryan Braun]

Here is the script I've been working on for setting up replication without 
using the console.

It's basically an evolution the original mmr.pl,  with new functionality.

It has a config file you need to properly setup,  here is a quick rundown of 
the options.

SUPPLIERS = All supplier servers that you want to monitor,setup.  ; delimited 
and you can specify the default port with a : (not required though)
CONSUMERS = All consumer servers.
ROOT_DN = user to bind with for modifying objects in cn=config (generally 
cn=Directory Manager)
REP_DN = Replication Manager's dn (ie uid=RManager,cn=config)
REPMAN_PW = Replication Manager's password
PAM_SECRET = libpam-ldap's root bind dn password file (sucked in automatically 
to use as the ROOT_DN's password
NSS_SECRET =  same as above but will only get checked if PAM_SECRET doesn't 
exist.
REP_ID = replica ID value for MMR.  Set this to 1 when you first run and the 
script will manage it from then on.
TLS = Set to 1 to always enable TLS,  0 or null for not always turned on (you 
can pass the -z switch on startup to use TLS if it's set to 0 or null)

Switches

-z turn on TLS for all binds. (not for setting up of rep agreements though!)  
If ldapsearch -ZZZ's work for you,  this ***should*** aswell (not tested very 
much :) )
-p prompt for ROOT_DN password
-c /path/to/config.conf specify an alternate config file (for rep'ing other 
BASE_DN's)
-d this will dump all the rep objects/agreements from each server to the 
terminal

Let me know how it works for you guys.
