slapo-syncprov \- Sync Provider overlay to slapd
10
The Sync Provider overlay implements the provider-side support for the
11
LDAP Content Synchronization (RFC4533) as well as syncrepl replication
13
can be used with any backend that maintains entryCSN and entryUUID
14
attributes for its entries. It also creates a contextCSN attribute in
15
the root entry of the database.
17
The contextCSN is updated for every write operation performed against the
18
database. To reduce database contention, the contextCSN is only updated in
19
memory. The value is written to the database on server shutdown and read into
20
memory on startup, and maintained in memory thereafter. Checkpoints may be
21
configured to write the contextCSN into the underlying database to minimize
22
recovery time after an unclean shutdown.
24
On databases that support inequality indexing, it is helpful to set an
25
eq index on the entryCSN attribute when using this overlay.
29
options apply to the Sync Provider overlay.
30
They should appear after the
34
.B syncprov-checkpoint <ops> <minutes>
35
After a write operation has succeeded, write the contextCSN to the underlying
38
write operations or more than
41
since the last checkpoint. Checkpointing is disabled by default.
43
.B syncprov-sessionlog <ops>
44
Specify a session log for recording information about write operations made
47
specifies the number of operations that are recorded in the log. All write
48
operations (except Adds) are recorded in the log.
49
When using the session log, it is helpful to set an eq index on the
50
entryUUID attribute in the underlying database.
52
.B syncprov-nopresent TRUE | FALSE
53
Specify that the Present phase of refreshing should be skipped. This value
54
should only be set TRUE for a syncprov instance on top of a log database
55
(such as one managed by the accesslog overlay).
58
.B syncprov-reloadhint TRUE | FALSE
59
Specify that the overlay should honor the reloadHint flag in the Sync
60
Control. In OpenLDAP releases 2.3.11 and earlier the syncrepl consumer did
61
not properly set this flag, so the overlay must ignore it. This option
62
should be set TRUE when working with newer releases that properly support
63
this flag. It must be set TRUE when using the accesslog overlay for
64
delta-based syncrepl replication support. The default is FALSE.
