ldap-slaves with different Versions

[Monika Strack-2]

Hallo all,

I have one ldap master, that is run with slapd version 2.3.30-5+etch1 and some
slave-server  with Version 2.2.23-8 (sarge). For this configuration the
replication is use slurpd. Now i have a new slave server with slapd version
2.4.7-6.2 (lenny). I want setup for this machine syncrepl.
 I know, that this version of slapd can also use slurpd. But the installed
version has a bug for the modify command. If I want to upgrade slurpd, it
comes with many package wich also to upgrade. The Machine is a mix of lenny
and etch, so this is not so good.
So my question ist:
 Can I use the same slapd.conf at the master for both slurpd and syncrepl
configuration?


It is a productive system and I can work only with cautious.

Thanks in advance

Monika

If I understand your question properly, the recommendation is to use the

same level on the master and the slave, especially the majour number

so 2.2 with 2.2 and not with 2.4, if you talk to the openldao guys they
will tell you to upgrade the whole thing to the latest level.

I would suggest getting a 2.4 from etch testing or stable on a test
machine as the master server, setup a slave and test your replication,
then move your data over and update you dns entries (ie don't remove the
old infrastructure) test for a while, when you happy, move the new
version of ldap over to the original boxes
