When slapd is running with cn=config, and "olcMirrorMode: TRUE" is set, whenever you modify an "olcSyncrepl" attribute, the server is silently taken out of MirrorMode, and you are no longer able to edit the cn=config database until slapd is restarted. This is observed with openldap-servers-2.4.23-20.el6.x86_64 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a server with "olcMirrorMode: TRUE" and perform a modification on an "olcSyncrepl" attribute. 2. Then try to modify anything in the cn=config database. Actual results: "shadow context; no update referral" Expected results: No error Additional info: This has been reported and fixed upstream http://www.openldap.org/its/index.cgi/Software%20Bugs?id=7077 http://www.openldap.org/devel/gitweb.cgi?p=openldap.git;a=commitdiff;h=b8f4e78414d59e76d626b3f0ae1c113ba1b1fc2c
