Adding a New Kolab Host
=======================
$Id: adding-new-hosts.txt,v 1.1 2005/02/18 19:07:22 bh Exp $
Kolab can be used in a multi-location setup where several kolab servers
work together. There's one master server and any number of slave
servers. This how-to describes how to add a new slave server.
1. Add the slave to the master's lists of slaves
In the web admin interface, go to the "Services" page and add the
host name of the new kolab host to the list of kolab hosts at the end
of the page.
You may want to check that the new host was added to
/kolab/etc/openldap/slapd.replicas
2. Bootstrap the new host
As root run /kolab/etc/kolab/kolab_bootstrap -b
The type of host is 2 (= slave)
URI of the master ldap server is usually something like
ldaps://master.domain.tld/
The base DN must be the base DN configured for the master ldap
server.
The manager password is also the same as that of the master server.
The bootstrap script will run a few commands on the master server and
copy data from the master to the client. It will connect with ssh
and scp as user root to the master server, so you will be asked for
the master's root password several times. At one the script will
generate an SSL certificate for the new host using the CA of the
kolab master. Thus, you will be asked for the CA password at one
point.
Note that copying of the ldap data involves temoprarily shutting down
the master's ldap server. This is done automatically by the
bootstrap script but it means that for a short while logins may fail
on the master.
3. Start the new server
/kolab/bin/openpkg rc all start
