[Fedora-directory-users] Replication problems

[Paul Clayton]

I have one server running FD core 5 and the other FD core 4

Each server has the recommended product installed, and at this point there is no issue.

What I am having is a replication problem. Initially I set server A as the master and server B as a dedicated consumer. The initialization worked fine from A to B and replication worked fine. I then set both servers as multi masters, and created the necessary agreements.
Server A to B replication worked but not from B to A. It failed with a permissions issue. I later tracked this down to the passwod expiration being missing, bu then I hit another issue, in that neither server would accept the replication issueing a an error code 1 saying incremental failed, and no such replica.
Extract from the log on the Server A

[23/May/2006:13:39:31 +0200] NSMMReplicationPlugin - agmt="cn=Keeper" (keeper:389): Unable to acquire replica: there is no replicated area "dc=domain,dc
=com" on the consumer server. Replication is aborting.
[23/May/2006:13:39:31 +0200] NSMMReplicationPlugin - agmt="cn=Keeper" (keeper:389): Incremental update failed and requires administrator action

Extract from log on Server B

[23/May/2006:13:36:18 +0200] NSMMReplicationPlugin - conn=8 op=3 replica="unknown": Unable to acquire replica: error: no such replica


I remember seeing this same problem on iPlanet some years back, and the only fix was to clear all replication agreements, and re-install the secondary. Seems the same issue is still around.

I have read the manual from top to bottom on replication, and cannot find anything wrong.

Anyone come across this.
