Hello, all. I've had major grief tonight trying to set up replication in our test environment. I'll submit this email to document our workarounds in case other hit the same problems and to solicit corrections in case them problem was not the product and documentation but rather our approach. First we have the issue of the Supplier Bind DN. We attempted to create the user by stopping dirsrv on the RO replica and add the following to dse.ldif: dn: cn=repliman,cn=config uid: repliman objectClass: inetorgperson objectClass: person objectClass: top cn: repliman givenname: Replication sn: Manager userPassword: <medium security password> passwordExpirationTime: 20380119031407Z We've never gotten it to work. The replication agreement wizard cannot find the dn. We've always had to create the user through the console in the config branch and then we can find the user. Once we did that, we hit a second problem. We had enabled fine grained password policies and required users to change their password when reset. This, of course, applied to the Supplier Bind DN user but we did not realize that at first. Perhaps a note in the documentation would have helped. Once we created the custom password policy for the user, all finally worked fine. -- John A.
