OpenLDAP replication fails, "syncrepl_entry: rid=666 be_modify failed (20)"
- by Pavel
I've configured a second host to replicate the main LDAP server via syncrepl in the slapd.conf:
syncrepl rid=666
provider=ldaps://my-main-server.com
type=refreshAndPersist
searchBase="dc=Staff,dc=my-main-server,dc=com"
filter="(objectClass=*)"
scope=sub
schemachecking=off
bindmethod=simple
binddn="cn=repadmin,dc=my-main-server,dc=com"
credentials=mypassword
When I restart slapd, it writes to /var/log/debug

I've looked into the sources for the return code and found only
#define LDAP_TYPE_OR_VALUE_EXISTS 0x14
in include/ldap.h. Anyway, I don't quite get what the error message means.
Can you help me debugging this problem and figure out why the LDAP replication doesn't work? I've managed to put a "manual" copy via slapcat and slapadd into the database, but I'd like to sync automatically.
UPDATE:
"Solved" by removing /var/lib/ldap/* and re-importing the database with slapadd.
