Hi all, I have tried to set up a replication agreement on a 389ds master to send updates to a 389ds slave. The master is configure to use client certs for authentication. The 389ds master fails each time it attempts to contact the slave with the following message, and tcpdump shows no traffic flowing over the wire: [30/Mar/2016:17:19:19 +0000] setup_ol_tls_conn - failed: unable to create new TLS context [30/Mar/2016:17:19:19 +0000] slapi_ldap_bind - Error: could not configure the server for cert auth - error -1 - make sure the server is correctly configured for SSL/TLS [30/Mar/2016:17:19:19 +0000] NSMMReplicationPlugin - agmt="cn=Agreement ldap.example.com" (ldap:636): Replication bind with EXTERNAL auth failed: LDAP error 0 (Success) () The server is correctly configured for SSL/TLS, and I am able to bind to both the master and the slave over SSL port 636. The replication agreement looks as follows: dn: cn=Agreement ldap.example.com,cn=replica,cn=dc\3Dexample\,dc\3Dcom,cn=mapping tree,cn=config objectClass: nsds5replicationagreement objectClass: top cn: Agreement ldap.example.com description: Replication agreement to ldap.example.com nsDS5ReplicaBindDN: cn=Replication Manager,cn=config nsDS5ReplicaBindMethod: SSLCLIENTAUTH nsds5replicaChangesSentSinceStartup: nsDS5ReplicaHost: ldap.example.com nsds5replicaLastInitEnd: 0 nsds5replicaLastInitStart: 20160330162755Z nsds5replicaLastInitStatus: 255 Replication error acquiring replica: unknown error nsds5replicaLastUpdateEnd: 0 nsds5replicaLastUpdateStart: 0 nsds5replicaLastUpdateStatus: 255 Replication error acquiring replica: unkno wn error - Unable to acquire replica nsDS5ReplicaPort: 636 nsDS5ReplicaRoot: dc=example,dc=com nsDS5ReplicaTransportInfo: SSL nsds5replicaUpdateInProgress: FALSE Is there anything I can do to coax a useful error message out of the master server? "LDAP error 0 (Success)” tells me this is a bug of some kind, as why would it fail saying success?
