Re: [Fedora-directory-users] Configuring replication and creating the supplier bind DN
Is there a tutorial out there anywhere for setting up master/slave (as
opposed to multi-master) replication? I'm having issues getting the
replication agreement setup; I've created cn=replication manager
inside of cn=config but I get error messages when trying to create the
agreement. When I use cn=Directory Manager instead, it works -- so
it's not a networking issue.
I've tried various permutations of cn=replication manager inside the
"Simple authentication" field on the "Source and Destination" tab of
the replication agreement tab, but with no success. I've checked the
FDS FAQ & Wiki and can't find a walk-through...

Yes. You cannot edit dse.ldif while the server is running. If you
really want to edit dse.ldif, you must shutdown the server first.
If you did stop the server first, make sure there is a blank line
before dn: cn=replication manager,cn=config - a blank line is the
entry delimiter in LDIF - if there is no blank line, the server may
just report a warning to the error log and continue.
But you do not have to do that - you can just use ldapmodify -a to
add this entry while the server is running
