Re: [389-users] ChainOnUpdate

(resending w/ reply to all, 389-users)

I was using  "cn=directory manager" when attempting to make the updates.  Using a user's credentials to do a MOD seemed to produced the desired result.  Thanks!

As an aside, should it not be viewed as problematic that the database on a consumer could be directly modified by "cn=directory manager" and those changes are not reflected on the Master (or other masters, hubs, or consumers, for that matter) ?

Hypothetically speaking... 
"cn=directory manager" could bind to be1.foo.com and modify the following dn..
dn: uid=jim,dc=foo,dc=com 
changetype: modify 
replace: sn
sn: changed on be1

I could then search be1.foo.com (Master) and be2.foo.com (consumer)
and find the value for "sn" on "uid=jim,dc=foo,dc=com" is "changed on be1" on both servers

The above makes sense.

Now, If i were to  make the same change to be2...
"cn=directory manager" binds to be2.foo.com and modifies ..
changetype: modify 
replace: sn
sn: changed on be2

I would then search be1.foo.com (Master) and find sn to have a value of "changed on be1"
a search of be2.foo.com (Consumer) would show sn has a value of "changed on be2"

It seems this could have a detrimental effect on the integrity of the environment. 

Thoughts?


Thanks again for your help!

I am attempting to setup chain on update per http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:ChainOnUpdate


The packages installed are:

389-admin-console-1.1.8-1.el6.noarch

389-ds-1.2.2-1.el6.noarch

389-ds-base-1.2.9.14-1.el6_2.2.x86_64

The justification for use of chain_on_update is that our clients are “dumb” and unable to follow referrals.  


As a POC, I am testing with two servers: be1.foo.com (Master) and be2.foo.com (Consumer)


Prior to following the instructions in the Howto:ChainOnUpdate (linked above) the environment operated as follows:


Scenario A)

Client.foo.com attempts to modify be1.foo.com -> Allowed

Change made by client.foo.com to be1.foo.com is replicated to be2.foo.com

Ldapsearch of both searvers shows the item was properly replicated, value is the same on be1 and be2

-----

Scenario B)

Client.foo.com attempts to modify be2.foo.com -> Not allowed, given referral


Upon following the instructions in the aforementioned howto the environment operates as follows:


Scenario A)

Client.foo.com attempts to modify be1.foo.com -> Allowed

Change made by client.foo.com to be1.foo.com is replicated to be2.foo.com

Ldapsearch of both searvers shows the item was properly replicated, value is the same on be1 and be2

-----

Scenario B)

Client.foo.com attempts to modify be2.foo.com -> Allowed

What credentials did you use?  Note that cn=directory manager is not chained because the directory manager credentials are local to each server.

Change made by client.foo.com *SHOULD* have been handled by the chaining backend and modified on be1

Ldapsearch of both servers shows the item was modified on be2 but not be1 (be1 still has the old value)


It seems the writes from client.foo.com to be2.foo.com are being committed to be local database (userRoot) instead of being handled by the chaining backend (chainbe1). 


As the howto suggests, I am using the replication manager for the proxy auth.  I have confirmed the credentials on all servers.

Any help in getting ChainOnUpdate to work with my 389 servers would be greatly appreciated.  


Thanks in advance!
