[Freeipa-users] UID splitting policy and running out.

[Steven Jones]

Hi,

I just found that I had runout of UIDS when doing a winsync agreement.

>From my understanding when you add a replica it takes 1/2 of the master's UIDs block...so a 2nd replica takes 1/2 of that again?

In my case I rebuilt the replica's several times and the Master ended up with only 2500 UIDs left...

When I did a winsync then it wasnt happy.

I'd suggest that as part of the winsync setup a ldapsearch is done to make sure there are plenty left and allocate more  if need be ....unless its a virgin setup....but a large site with say 2 replicas would leave 25000 UIDs on the master?  not unusual for AD's to have 25000+ users I'd suggest. (we have about 21000).

or did I do something wrong?

regards
