Is there a tutorial out there anywhere for setting up master/slave (as opposed to multi-master) replication? I'm having issues getting the replication agreement setup; I've created cn=replication manager inside of cn=config but I get error messages when trying to create the agreement. When I use cn=Directory Manager instead, it works -- so it's not a networking issue. I've tried various permutations of cn=replication manager inside the "Simple authentication" field on the "Source and Destination" tab of the replication agreement tab, but with no success. I've checked the FDS FAQ & Wiki and can't find a walk-through...
