[Bug 442498] Re: karmic openldap cut-to-bone-and-beyond install, why ????

[Alberto]

I am in the same boat. I had a perfectly working ldap setup with two
replicating servers on Jaunty.  I made the stupid decision to upgrade to
Karmic and lo and behold the configuration broke! After a couple of days
of trying to find a solution to this problem, i looked at the files in
/etc/ldap/slapd.d/ and looked at the files that had changed.  I found
that the upgrade inserted some weird acl line to restrict access except
by root.  This was preventing phpldapadmin from working.

I removed the acl manually from the two files that had it (sorry, i
don't remember the name of the files) and that restored the base search
functionality but now, I have strange replication problems.  Things are
inconsistent. If I add a user to one server, it may or may not replicate
to the other server.  Its madness...  All of it was working 100% before.
What did you guys do in Karmic???

There is another bug in php 5 that prevents phplapadmin from working but
there is a fix for that particular bug.

I don't know if the replication problems are related to me manually
removing the darn acl line from the two files. I guess I should have
used the ldapmodify command.  I am new at this ldap stuff with
cn=config.  I liked it way better when we had slapd.conf file to quickly
change things.

If anyone has any insight on what might be wrong with syncrepl in
karmic, please let us know.
