Description Ryan Braun 2009-08-13 19:26:20 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009061212 Iceweasel/3.0.6 (Debian-3.0.6-1)

When setting up more then 2+ MMR servers with both userroot and netscaperoot replicated,  you should be able to use any of those servers as a config server for other slave servers automatically.  As it stands now,  the only server the slave will contact is the original server you've registered it to.  If that server ever fails you need to manually edit adm.conf and probably some settings in dse.ldif aswell.

Reproducible: Always




I suppose in in theory I could add a servers.conf file in /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv with all my config servers.   Then hack up /etc/init.d/dirsrv-admin to try and bind to any of those servers,  then take that server and "sed it" into adm.conf to get around this for now.
