slave-rejects und SASL-log (ldap_search_st() failed: Can't contact LDAP server)

[Christian Rößler]

Hallo everybody,

well, I have sent the german version to the english list - sorry, this 
should have gone to the german list, of course. So now again in english...

I installed a Kolab slave server, some days ago. It works nicely, but 
there are some things irritating me.

First: If I change a normal entry on the Kolab master (here, for example 
the user "Testa Testb" I got a notice in the reject logfile of the 
master (at /kolab/var/openldap/openldap-slurp/replica/kolab-slave\:636.rej):

| ERROR: No such object
| replica: kolab-slave.fuhintern.de:636
| time: 1226391794.1
| dn: cn=Testa Testb,dc=kolab,dc=testintern,dc=de
| changetype: modrdn
| newrdn: cn=Testa Testc
| deleteoldrdn: 1

..but the object will be correctly replicated to the slave, as it should 
be. As said, that's irritating.

After noticing sone SASL entries in the SASL log file I guessed it could 
perhaps have something to do with SASL authentification (snippet from 
/kolab/var/sasl/log/saslauthd.log):

| Nov 11 10:20:02 kolab <error> saslauthd[6635]: user ldap_search_st()
| failed: Can't contact LDAP server
| Nov 11 10:20:02 kolab <info> saslauthd[6635]: Retrying authentication
| Nov 11 10:30:02 kolab <error> saslauthd[6625]: user ldap_search_st()
| failed: Can't contact LDAP server
| Nov 11 10:30:02 kolab <info> saslauthd[6625]: Retrying authentication
| Nov 11 10:40:02 kolab <error> saslauthd[6635]: user ldap_search_st()
| failed: Can't contact LDAP server
| Nov 11 10:40:02 kolab <info> saslauthd[6635]: Retrying authentication
| Nov 11 10:50:02 kolab <error> saslauthd[6625]: user ldap_search_st()
| failed: Can't contact LDAP server
| Nov 11 10:50:02 kolab <info> saslauthd[6625]: Retrying authentication
(usw. usf. etc.)

so I would like to solve this problem first to make sure the replication 
problem above is not a following error of this. But I noticed that 
perhaps these messages also happened before the setup of the slave 
server, which irritates me also.

So, please, can anyone give me a hint, perhaps? If more information is 
needed I would gladly provide more.

Best regards,
Christian
