[Fedora-directory-users] Updating Consumer replica fails referralto the master from the console.

[Chavez, James R.]

Hi Rich,
Thank you for your previous response..The answer was actually embedded
within your statement I believe.

"This is a problem in general with some older clients that do not know
how to properly follow LDAPv3 referrals"

I used the mozldap ldapmodify tool and it worked to update entries that
I point at the consumer.  I would have never guessed the openldap tool
would not follow LDAPv3 referrals. Maybe a switch I missed or something.
Thanks again for your suggestion.

James

You'll see the same thing with the console too, except that the console
knows how to follow the referral.

This is a problem in general with some older clients that do not know
how to properly follow LDAPv3 referrals (err=10 is a referral).

What is the client?  The ldapsearch command line?
