I'm having a little trouble creating a simple, master/slave replication configuring using FDS 1.1.3. I'm following the Red Hat documentation here: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/8.0/Creating_the_Supplie... but am having trouble creating the supplier bind DN. This is what I'm appending to /etc/dirsrv/slapd-ldap/dse.ldif: dn: cn=replication manager,cn=config objectClass: inetorgperson objectClass: person objectClass: top cn: replication manager sn: RM userPassword: secretPassword passwordExpirationTime: 20380119031407Z However, as soon as I start the directory server back up, the changes I made to dse.ldif disappear. Am I missing something?

Thanks! Chris -- Fedora-directory-users mailing list Fedora-directory-users(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users

Am I missing something? 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 > > Thanks! > > > Chris
