[Fedora-directory-users] Setting up Multiple Directory Servers - in a multi-master mesh. Having problems with admin server.

[Howard Wilkinson]

We are configuring a new site which has a pair of Master servers and 2 
"slave" servers. We have followed the following sequence of steps but 
have fallen at the last fence in getting all of the servers registered 
with admin servers.

    Install fresh copies of fedora-ds* 1.1 packages.
    Run setup-ds-admin.pl on the primary master (primary because it is
    the first one)
    Setup SSL access to server
    Create ROOTDNs.
    Populate server with initial data.

    Run setup-ds.pl on the secondary master and the 2 slaves.
    Setup SSL access on these servers
    Create ROOTDNs
    Initiate multi-master replication for all roots from primary master
    to secondary master.
    Initiate ordinary replication from the primary master to each slave.
    Initiate ordinary replication from the secondary master to each slave.


We are replicating o=NetscapeRoot as well as all of our Roots.

The servers are setup using this inf file.

    [General]

    FullMachineName=${HOSTNAMEFQDN}

    SuiteSpotUserID=${LDAPUID}

    SuiteSpotGroup=${LDAPGID}

    ServerRoot=/usr/lib/fedora-ds

    AdminDomain=${MASTERDOMAIN}

    ConfigDirectoryAdminID=admin

    ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd=${ADMINPASSWD}

    ConfigDirectoryLdapURL=ldap://${MASTERHOSTFQDN}:${LDAPPORT}/o=NetscapeRoot

    UserDirectoryAdminID=admin

    UserDirectoryAdminPwd=${ADMINPASSWD}

    UserDirectoryLdapURL=ldap://${HOSTNAMEFQDN}:${LDAPPORT}/${MASTERDN}

    #CACertificateURL=

    [slapd]

    SlapdConfigForMC=${SlapdConfigForMC} # Set to 1 on Master, 0 on all others

    SecurityOn=No

    UseExistingMC=${UseExistingMC} # Set to 0 on Master, 1 on all others

    UseExistingUG=0

    ServerPort=${LDAPPORT}

    ServerIdentifier=${HOSTNAME}

    Suffix=dc=${MASTERDN}

    RootDN=cn=Directory Manager

    AddSampleEntries=No

    InstallLdifFile=none

    AddOrgEntries=No

    DisableSchemaChecking=No

    RootDNPwd=${DIRMANPASSWD}

    start_server=1

    install_full_schema=1

    [admin]

    SysUser=${LDAPUID}

    Port=${ADMINPORT}

    ServerIpAddress=*

    ServerAdminID=admin

    ServerAdminPwd=${ADMINPASSWD}

    ApacheDir=/usr/sbin/

    ApacheRoot=/etc/httpd


I then run up fedora-idm-console on the master. We can see the master 
server in the console but cannot see any of the others!

What have we missed? What do we need to do to get this running and then 
switch each server over to using its local admin server (with replicated 
data from the master)

Note we cannot get "register-ds-admin.pl" to do anything in this 
environment a sit just keeps asking for the server name and any input 
results in it asking again for the server name.

Regards, Howard.
