To Verify Successful User Data Replication

Before You Begin

This procedure assumes you have just completed To Initialize the Replication Agreements and are still logged into the ds2.sp-example.com host machine as a root user.

1. Prepare an LDIF file with the following contents and save it in the /tmp directory as people.ldif.

   dn: ou=People,o=spusers.com
   objectclass: top
   objectclass: organizationalUnit
   ou: People
   description: Container for user entries

2. Run ldapmodify on the ds1.sp-example.com host machine using people.ldif as input.

   # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/dsrk6/bin # ./ldapmodify -a -h ds1.sp-example.com -p 1489 -f /tmp/people.ldif -D cn=Directory Manager,cn=Administrators,cn=config -w dsmanager adding new entry ou=People,o=spusers.com

3. After the entry is created, log in to the ds2.sp-example.com host machine as a root user.

4. Run ldapsearch on Directory Server 2 to verify that ou=People was successfully replicated.

   # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/dsrk6/bin # ./ldapsearch -b "o=spusers.com" -p 1489 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w dsmanager "objectclass=organizationalUnit" version: 1 dn: ou=People,o=spusers.com objectClass: top objectClass: organizationalUnit ou: People description Container for user entries

5. Now run ldapdelete on Directory Server 2 to delete ou=People.

   # ./ldapdelete -h ds2.sp-example.com -p 1489 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w dsmanager "ou=People,o=spusers.com"

6. Now, as a root user on Directory Server 1, run ldapsearch to verify that the deletion was replicated.

   # ./ldapsearch -b "o=spusers.com" -p 1489 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w dsmanager "objectclass=organizationalUnit"

   The search will return no results as the delete was successfully replicated.

7. Log out of both Directory Server host machines.
