[Fedora-directory-users] Is it possibleto migrateBerkeley 4.2(32bit) based directory to 4.2 (64bit)

[Reinhard Nappert]

No, it does not. It looks like you need a value.

So, I installed a 64 bit version from scratch, took that generated value
in the migrated dse.ldif and started the server. This works, however it
is kind of ugly. Now, this brings up another question: If I do something
like that (with perl?), do I screw up my replication agreements?

Yes.  Unfortunately, that attribute contains raw binary data that may
not be 64-bit clean.  If you shutdown the server, delete that attribute,
and start the server, does it work?
