The current 2.1.4 has the opposite problem... It HAS nsDS5ReplicatedAttributeListTotal but does not have nsDS5ReplicatedAttributeList... So when it adds all the memberof data, the replica replicates all that info back to the master and anyone else in the replica party.

Ah.

I see my problem

I am running my 2.1.4 with 7351780552f5d21d8d92fd2f08aedf4985a3c926 (Replication: Adjust replica installation to omit processing memberof computations) cherry picked


So in that case, it means... yes your patch appropriately runs a fixup because the Total is missing without other patches.

I suppose I need to do a build with both patches present to get a clear confirmation that both patches are critical to optimize the replication process.

I will do a follow up tomorrow.  I suspect this is an easy ack
