uh.... okay, I got it working now.

In my LDIF, the dn to create the "cn=replica" should be 'dn: cn=replica,cn="dc=example, dc=com",cn=mapping tree,cn=config' A space is needed between "dc=example," and "dc=com".

I am not sure why though, but that made it work.

Hi All,

I am working on LDIF that will configure replication via command line. I'm following the direction documented in the Red Hat DS Administration Guide section 8.7. Particularly I am stuck in step 2 of 8.7.1 when configuring my suppliers. http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/8.1/admin/Managing_Replication...

Below is the output from my ldapmodify command. adding new entry "cn=Replication Manager,cn=config" adding new entry "cn=changelog5,cn=config" adding new entry "cn=replica,cn="dc=example,dc=com",cn=mapping tree,cn=config" ldap_add: No such object (32)

As you can see, I was able to create my replication manager, and enabled the change log, however, I wasn't able to create the 'dn: cn=replica,cn="dc=example,dc=com",cn=mapping tree,cn=config' entry. I can see from the directory console that 'cn="dc=example,dc=com",cn=mapping tree,cn=config' does exist in my directory console.

Is there anything that I did wrong in my LDIF? Can someone take a look? Thanks!!!
