Ldap Replication: how and when?

[Fabio Pietrosanti]

Hi,

Are there some way to "force" a replica from the master ldap server to a
slave one?

i'm setting up a quite complex and distributed kolab infrastructure.
There are dedicated smtp servers, dedicated antivirus, dedicated mail
backend in HA, dedicated ldap server in HA, dedicated web frontend,
dedicated imap proxy (perdition).

Kolab doesn't support nativelly the separation of it's own components
but modifying configuration files along with some php scripts seems to
make it working.

I installed the redundant ldap servers as a master kolab server, then
every other components (smtp, antivirus, mailbackend, frontend,
imaproxy) as a slave kolab servers.
I modified rc.conf to have only the needed services started on boot.

I'm happy to have every components that talks to local ldap cache (smtp
server do their query to local ldap cache for example), however during
tests i had to manage a desyncronization of ldap replica.

One of the smtp server stopped receiving  ldap replicas and i cannot
find a way to have them resync with the master ldap server.

Are there some way to "force" a replica from the master ldap server to a
slave one?
