I understand.

I now have all servers registered on the master server and can see them from there as expected. I now face an issue with "register-ds-admin.pl" when I run it in the secondary server I get the following output. If you have such Directory Server, type the full path that stores the configuration file. If you don't, type return. [configuration directory path or return]: ============================================================================== Candidate servers to register: /etc/dirsrv/slapd-backus ============================================================================== Do you want to use this server as Configuration Directory Server? Directory server identifier: backus ============================================================================== Do you want to use this server as Configuration Directory Server? Directory server identifier: and this justs keeps cycling asking the same question. If I run on one of the consumers the behaviour is different but still no very useful. I get a bit further but it refuses to recognise the admin password. Do you want to use this server as Configuration Directory Server? Directory server identifier: barnacle ============================================================================== Cleaning up old Config DS: ============================================================================== Please input the password for the Administrator User uid=admin, ou=Administrators, ou=TopologyManagement, o=NetscapeRoot: Error: failed to clean up the configuration info from the old Configuration Directory Server . ============================================================================== Please input the password for the Administrator User uid=admin, ou=Administrators, ou=TopologyManagement, o=NetscapeRoot: I get the same behaviour if I run on the Master server. Any suggestions? ............. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
