[Kolab-devel] [issue1755] Openldap enhanced synchronisation for master and slave

[Jørgen H. Fjeld]

New submission from =?iso-8859-1?q?J=F8rgen_H=2E?= Fjeld <jhf at linpro.no>:

Kolab currently uses slurpd to synchronize the ldap slave with the ldap master.
The slurpd implementation is more error prove than it's successor, the syncrepl 
implementation. Specifically. Slurpd requires the master to push to the slaves, 
and it requires that they start from the same data. This requires one to stop 
the master, slapcat from master, slapadd on slave, start master and slave.
With syncrepl this is automatically done, and there is no need for taking down 
the master, nor any chance of inconsistency. 
I have attached a patch that implements master/slave with syncrepl instead of 
slurpd.
Syncrepl is officially the future method for master/slave support, and our 
experience shows that it is more stable.
The patch implements syncrepl for both master and slave, which is entirely 
unproblematic, and gives a more uniform configuration.
