Hi I have setup chaining but it is not working at all and I am not sure how to debug it further. I am using: 389-admin-1.1.11-0.6.rc2.el5 389-admin-console-1.1.5-1.el5 389-admin-console-doc-1.1.5-1.el5 389-adminutil-1.1.8-4.el5 389-console-1.1.4-1.el5 389-ds-1.2.1-1.el5 389-ds-base-1.2.6-0.11.rc7.el5 389-ds-console-1.2.3-1.el5 389-ds-console-doc-1.2.3-1.el5 389-dsgw-1.1.5-1.el5 The setup is 4 servers, two multimasters and two consumers. Client can only speak to the consumers and thus referrals won't work. I have used the following ldif to setup chaining: dn: cn=chainingBackend,cn=chaining database,cn=plugins,cn=config changetype: add objectClass: top objectClass: extensibleObject objectClass: nsBackendInstance cn: chainingBackend nsslapd-suffix: dc=mycompany nsmultiplexorbinddn: cn=replication manager,cn=config nsusestarttls: on nsfarmserverurl: ldaps://masterfqdn1:636 masterfqdn2:636/ nsmultiplexorcredentials: {SSHA}blah nsbindconnectionslimit: 5 nsconcurrentoperationslimit: 5 nsconnectionlife: 130 nsbindtimeout: 3 nsbindretrylimit: 3 nsmaxresponsedelay: 3 nsmaxtestresponsedelay: 5 dn: cn=dc\3dmycompany,cn=mapping tree,cn=config changetype: modify add: nsslapd-backend nsslapd-backend: chainingBackend - replace: nsslapd-state nsslapd-state: backend - replace: nsslapd-distribution-plugin nsslapd-distribution-plugin: /usr/lib64/dirsrv/plugins/libreplication-plugin.so - replace: nsslapd-distribution-funct nsslapd-distribution-funct: repl_chain_on_update dn: cn=config,cn=chaining database,cn=plugins,cn=config changetype: modify add: nsTransmittedControls nsTransmittedControls: 2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.12 The ACI has been created to allow the Replication Manager user proxy access. When I run the following on the client: dn: uid=john,ou=people,dc=mycompany changetype: modify add: mobile mobile: 1234 The entry gets added but only locally, it thus seems to be completely ignoring the chaining I have setup. I see the following in the consumer log after creation: [29/Sep/2010:13:00:11 +0000] start_tls - Received extended operation request with OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.20037 [29/Sep/2010:13:00:11 +0000] start_tls - Start TLS extended operation request confirmed.

Having done the the test twice I did not see the replay errors again in the master log. I am going to simplify my test environment as I currently have 4 servers which all are verbal about replication and I multimaster netscapedb which adds to the complications. I have enabled Replication and Plug-ins for the error log, is there any other recommended logs that I should enable that can assist me in debugging chaining issues.
