LDAP Replication

[rsharpe]

I'm trying to setup LDAP replication, I have followed the steps given to me. But I'm stuck at one point I was advised before beginning that this has not been fully tested. When I run zmldapenablereplica it starts out very nice but when it starts to do the actual replication it executes some unknown command. At first it looked like it was trying to execute the slapcat command, which does not exist so I thought I'd edit the script and change slapcat to zmslapcat. I'm still having the same results so I'm going to change it back. Here is the full output of my zmldapenablereplica command:

Looking for LDAP installation...succeeded

Thanks for the help

I think I may have found part of the problem.

Line 165 of zmldapenablereplica:

echo HOST:${ldap_master_host} slapcat | ${zimbra_home}/bin/zmrc ${ldap_master_host} | \
        grep -v STARTCMD | grep -v ENDCMD > /tmp/repl.ldif

I think the problem has to do with HOST:${ldap_master_host} that is getting treated as a command line executable and choking. And I'm 99% sure that slapcat should be zmslapcat. I executed these command manually and they seemed to work the only problem was zmslapcat didn't seem to produce the correct output.

You don't want zmslapcat, you want slapcat.

You might try quoting the HOST:${ldap_master_host} slapcat args:

echo "HOST:${ldap_master_host} slapcat" | ...

I did the quoting like you requested, but unfortunately there was no change in the outcome:

-bash: line 1: HOST:titan.xxx.on.ca: command not found
FAILED
Ldap replication failed - exiting

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I understand it is the script is trying to execute the following command on the LDAP master

HOST:titan.xxx.on.ca

This confuses me, is it supposed to be like this? I apologize for my ignorance, but I just don't understand.
