Hi,

I have configured openldap server in rhel6.4, but need some clarity on
basedn and rootdn:

My domain is "test.org.in"

What may be the basedn and rootdn.

olcSuffix: dc=example,dc=com

olcRootDN: cn=root,dc=example,dc=com


I have followed following blog:

http://suresh-chandra.blogspot.in/20...client-on.html


Is this ok as master and slave configuration.

Kindly suggest.


Thanks,
Shankar

..and the VERY FIRST HIT in Google for "openldap what is base dn" is:
http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/63.html

...from the OpenLDAP documentation. It also explains what rootdn is too...start by reading their documentation. However, your question itself is very confusing, since you've been asking about LDAP for SIX YEARS now:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-a-4175415859/
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-rhel6-920161/
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ration-823890/
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...r-file-695773/

Should you be very familiar with the basic concepts by now?
..which is two years old...
You tell us...IS IT OK??? You haven't actually said you're having a problem, or that things aren't working. If you want to know if it's ok, then TEST IT, and if you have a problem, post back with the details. And, since you're using Red Hat Enterprise, have you called Red Hat support????

The content of the blog explain how to setup, configure and use a standalone ldap server.

About olcSuffix and olcRootDN

Is current that use dc=example,dc=com for explain how to configure a ldap tree, but in this case, your suffix must be dc=test,dc=org,dc=in
and olcRootDN must be cn=Manager,dc=test,dc=org,dc=in

hope that this will help you.

i am starting to wonder is there are a bunch of offices with " Sticky-notes" posted for
LinuxQuestions username = ????????????
LinuxQuestions password = ????????????

and EVERY "new employe " in the office posts using it

Thanks,

I have configured master/client.
Now want to configure slave server.

Can you please let me know the detailed steps.
and also want to configure openldap browser.


Thanks,

1) Create a user in your ldap tree, will be used for replication betwren master and slave.
Example : cn=replicator,dc=test,dc=org,dc=in

2) modify master configuration for use a overlay: syncrepl
Add:
overlay syncprov
syncprov-checkpoint 5 10
syncprov-sessionlog 123

3) On the slave :
Add:
syncrepl rid=123
provider=ldap://<ip address of master>:389
type=refreshOnly
interval="00:00:30:00"
retry="60 +"
searchbase="dc=test,dc=org,dc=in"
filter="(objectClass=*)"
scope=sub
attrs="*,+"
schemachecking=off
updatedn="cn=replicator,dc=test,dc=org,dc=in"
bindmethod=simple
binddn="cn=replicator,dc=test,dc=org,dc=in"
credentials=secret

updateref ldap://<ip address of master>

So, despite working with ldap for six years, and knowing the LQ rules, you still come and ask someone to look something up for you, and spoon feed you 'steps?

How about you read the documentation, and come back with a specific question?
