I am working on a fairly simple DS system - one master and about 12
replication slaves. I didn't go multimaster because we don't have enough
servers to justify that... but anyway.
We've had a consistent problem for years with password changing - which I'm
trying to fix. It used to be that changing passwords simply didn't work. I
rebuilt the whole infrastructure to refer back to the replication master and
added pam_password exop to the ldap.conf files. Now changing passwords
works... sort of. When changing a password, it prompts for the password and
the new password, and dutifully changes it on the server, gets the referral
back, tries to follow it - and the server says "invalid credentials" and
refuses to do the change. So I end up with our servers out of sync - the
new password on the slave server and the old server still thinking it has
the old password. Obviously that's not acceptable.
I tried exop_send_old, it doesn't do any better. I'm running the latest
version of nss_ldap. Anyone have any suggestions as to why the slave
servers are allowing the credentials but the master isn't?
Thanks,
