Hello,
I migrated a Netscape Directory Server 4.16 installation to Fedora
Directory Server over the weekend. It went very smoothly, but I now
have a puzzling problem. I have two servers setup in multimaster
replication mode. On the one server, for one subtree only, if I
search via the 'uid' attribute, each search returns two identical
entries. On the other server, if I search via the 'uid' attribute, I
get one entry. If I search on anything but the 'uid' attribute (say,
for instance 'mail'), I get one result from both servers.
The server that returns duplicate results for the 'uid' searches was
running in a test mode prior to my migration. However, I wiped the
database/subtree that had our organization accounts located in it
prior to migrating. My initial suspicion is that I have a messed up
index somewhere but I don't see how I would ever have been able to
import duplicate sets of entries anyway, since we are using 'uid' as
our RDN value.
Sounds like a messed up index i.e. when you wiped the database/subtree,
it didn't wipe the uid.db4 index file. However, if you initialized the
database again by importing an LDIF file (e.g. by ldif2db, not
ldapmodify -a), it should have wiped out the old index as well.
Further, if I export the data for that subtree, there are only one set
of entries for each account.
Right, because there is only 1 real entry, it's just that there are two
different uid values in the index pointing to your 1 real entry.
Thoughts on what might be occuring?
