We just had a bit of a scary situation.. We have two multimaster
replicating directory servers (server1 and server2), with a few
schema modifications residing in 99user.ldif.
dc=example, dc=com:
server1 <---> server2
Then we wanted to make these two directory servers be consumers
of another directory on server3, which has another set of schema
modifications in 99user.ldif. The result was that server1 and server2
dropped all their modifications to 99user.ldif, and started using a
99.ldif identical to server3. Resulting in lots of problems with
unknown object classes in their original directory tree..
o=ISP, o=example, c=NO
server3 (single master)
/ \
server1 server2 (consumers)
Which makes me wonder what the correct way of handling local
schema modifications are. Should we be creating our own 99my_classes.ldif,
instead of storing them in 99user.ldif ?
