Hi,

I did a test, but unfortunately it didn't work for me.

This is my LAB:
  • 389DS Servers :
    • OS CentOS7 all updates
    • 389DS version 1.3.8.4-22
    • domain : dc=example,dc=com
    • users on : uid=%u,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
    • One master server (idm01.example.com) and one slave server (idm02.example.com).
    • Replication configured for userRoot database (dc=example,dc=com)
    • Replication uses this user cn=replication manager,cn=config
    • Password Policy is configured.
  • Mail server Zimbra 8.8.11
    • OS CentOS7 all updates
    • Zimbra FOSS 8.8.11.
    • External authentication configured  using LDAP server
      • Installation of ADPassword connector to allow change password from Zimbra WebUI
      • External authentication was configured first on idm01.example.com to test that change pass works correctly.
      • External authentication was modified to use idm02.example.com to test chain modification.
Result :

Steps of configuration of chain modification :
  • On master 389DS server
    • Create a new ACI on dc=example,dc=com : (targetattr = "*")(version 3.0; acl "Proxied authorization for database links";   
         allow (proxy) (userdn = "ldap:///cn=Replication Manager,cn=config");)
    • Create cn=replication manager,cn=config on the master after getting this error from the slave's log :
      • [17/Feb/2019:14:31:30.151680780 +0000] - ERR - slapi_ldap_bind - Error: could not bind id [cn=replication manager,cn=config] authentication mechanism [SIMPLE]: error 32 (No such object)
This means cn=replication manger does not exist on the slave server, but looks like you added it later...

  • On slave 389DS server
    • Create the chain entry with ldapadd -x -W -D "cn=Directory Manager" -f chain.ldiff

    • Modify the existing : dn: cn="dc=example,dc=com",cn=mapping tree,cn=config or to be exact dn: cn=dc\3Dexample\2Cdc\3Dcom,cn=mapping tree,cn=config

Errors :
  • From 389DS slave server :
    • Erorr Log
      • [17/Feb/2019:14:44:24.514362428 +0000] - ERR - chaining database - chaining_back_modify - invalid password syntax - passwords with storage scheme are not allowed
This means you, or some client, tried to add a password that was already hashed - this is not allowed.  The password must be in clear text at the time it is set - then the server will hash it using the configured password storage scheme.
Did I respect the procedure?
i didn't find anything about chain modification on RedHat documentation, did I miss anything?

This is a not a fully documented/supported procedure.  However, I know a lot of people use it successfully.  I think the main problem you are having is the password stored for the replication manager (I'm assuming this is where the error "passwords with storage scheme are not allowed" is coming from).  Or, it's the "user" password change that has a prehashed password.  Again this would be client incorrectly trying to do this.  So who/what is making the password change?  If you use ldapmodify and set a password yourself does it work, does it chain-on-update successfully?

I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t still work today? It would be good if you were able to test a development deployment and let us know the results and processes taken?
