[389-users] Replication: update of supplier via referral from consumer not working

[Mitja Mihelič]

Hi!

Note: real information (IPs, DNs, FQDNs) has been replaced with generic 
information.

I have set up a single-master replication scenario.
supplier: ldap://supplier.example.com:389
consumer: ldap://consumer.example.com:389
Replications works with no problems.

I have entered "ldap://supplier.example.com:389/dc=example, dc=com" in 
the "Current URLs for referrals (Optional)" field.

If I understand correctly, when trying to update an entry on the 
consumer, the referral should take me to the supplier and perform the 
update there.

But I get the following error from the consumers console:
"netscape.ldap.LDAPException: error result (32); No such object; Failed 
to follow referral to 
ldap://supplier.example.com:389/edupersonprincipalname=user.name@example.com.si,dc=example,"


As you can see, there is a part of the DN missing and I have no idea why...


This is the information from the suppliers error log, again with the 
incomplete DN:
