Hi Morgan, your mail arrived one day late for me, it seems that the fedora mailman-server held it for some time before releasing it. You seem to have found the solution. When I ran the setup interactively with --keepcache the SlapdConfigForMC option was not set at all for the slave. If I manually set it in the inf-file to "no" it all works as intended. I'm just curious as to why the --keepcache-option would produce an output that does not reproduce my input… In the meantime I had it working with an except-script. If anyone for any reason would like to use this over a silent install I'm going to add my ansible template for it here: #!/usr/bin/expect -f spawn setup-ds-admin.pl expect "continue with set up" send "yes\r" expect "Would you like to continue" send "yes\r" expect "Choose a setup type" send "2\r" expect "Computer name" send "\r" expect "System User" send "\r" expect "System Group" send "\r" expect "configuration directory server" {% if dirsrv_mode == "master" %} send "no\r" expect "administrator ID" send "\r" expect "Password" send "{{ vault_dirsrv_admin_server_password }}\r" expect "Password (confirm)" send "{{ vault_dirsrv_admin_server_password }}\r" expect "Administration Domain" send "\r" {% else %} send "yes\r" expect "Configuration directory server URL" send "ldap://{{ dirsrv_config_host }}:389/o=NetscapeRoot\r" expect "Configuration directory server admin ID" send "\r" expect "Configuration directory server admin password" send "{{ vault_dirsrv_admin_server_password }}\r" expect "Configuration directory server admin domain" send "\r" {% endif %} expect "Directory server network port" send "389\r" expect "Directory server identifier" send "\r" expect "Suffix" send "\r" expect "Directory Manager DN" send "\r" expect "Password" send "{{ vault_dirsrv_directory_manager_password }}\r" expect "Password (confirm)" send "{{ vault_dirsrv_directory_manager_password }}\r" expect "Administration port" send "\r" expect "Are you ready to set up your servers" send "\r" expect "Log file is" send_user "$expect_out(buffer)" exit 0 Julian Am Mon, 18 Sep 2017 16:41:46 -0400 schrieb Morgan Jones <morgan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > Hello Julian et al, > > I’ve resolved my unrelated issues and now I'm pretty sure the process > to install several servers with a common config host using inf files > is this.
