From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030314 Description of problem: The current openldap shipped in RHEL3 (2.0.27) contains a bug in the TLS retry code that was fixed in 2.1.24. From the 2.1.24 changelog: Fixed slurpd TLS retry (ITS#2570) In my testing this bug makes replication almost unusable if you are trying to use TLS, and one of the replicas goes down and comes back up, because when the connection re-establishes, it does not restart TLS. If you have your ssf settings set to require encryption, updates begin to fail. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up a master and one replica, using TLS for the updates, and setting your SSF to require encryption for updates. 2. make some changes, see that they replicate 3. restart the slave daemon 4. make more changes on the master, and note that the updates are rejected, the log of the replications reporting "Confidentiality required".
