Hi,

It turns out it was mistake from our end, we were checking too early before the actual replication was done completely. Now that works properly.

The direction of replication is from AD -> 389 DS

But now we have a new requirement which is to copy from multiple Source Subtree from Windows to Linux.

To get both subtrees I used the winSyncSubtreePair multivalued attribute.

This is the replication agreement we have right now

dn: cn=UsersSyncAgreement,cn=replica,cn=dc\=example\,dc\=com\,cn=mapping tree,cn=config
changetype: add
objectclass: top
objectclass: nsDSWindowsReplicationAgreement
cn: UsersSyncAgreement
winSyncSubtreePair: cn=Users,dc=adexample,dc=com:ou=userandgroups,dc=example,dc=com
winSyncSubtreePair: ou=ItalyGroups,dc=adexample,dc=com:ou=userandgroups,dc=example,dc=com
nsds7NewWinUserSyncEnabled: on
nsds7NewWinGroupSyncEnabled: on
nsds7WindowsDomain: adexample.com
nsDS5ReplicaRoot: dc=example,dc=com
nsDS5ReplicaHost: adexample.com
nsDS5ReplicaPort: 389
nsDS5ReplicaTransportInfo: LDAP
nsDS5ReplicaBindDN: cn=replication user,cn=Users,dc=adexample,dc=com
nsDS5ReplicaBindMethod: SIMPLE
nsDS5ReplicaCredentials: secret
winSyncInterval: 1200

We want to copy both subtrees  cn=Users  and ou=ItalyGroups from the AD to 389 DS subtree ou=userandgroups,dc=example,dc=com.

Once the 389 Directory Server is installed, and this replication agreement is configured, I am able to access the 389 DS.

But once I initialize this replication agreement using the following

dn: cn=UsersSyncAgreement,cn=replica,cn=dc\=example\,dc\=com\,cn=mapping tree,cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: nsds5BeginReplicaRefresh
nsds5BeginReplicaRefresh: start

The dirsrv service crashes.

Can you help me with this problem, Am I configuring something wrong in the above replication agreement?

Thank you
Abhishek Deb

Sorry for the very late reply,

Replication like this, can be partial - it may not send all objects or structures, just ones defined in the agreement.

I think we'll need to see your winsync agreement from cn=config to know more, and to see what kind of objects are being sent, and what is not.

Is it objects from 389 to AD or in the other direction that are/are not being synced?

Thanks,
