Hi all,

I am hitting an issue with reinitializing the directory database.

Basically I have two directory servers and they're configured using multi-master replication scheme.

When I reinitialize the directory database, the directory became inaccessible.  I think it is related with my multi-master replication setup because when I use only reinitialize one LDAP, it would work just fine

My question is if multi-master replication is enabled on two LDAPs then do I need to reinitialize both LDAPs at the same time or just one LDAP?

Thanks!

Reinitializing the directory database does the trick!  I'm going to do more testing on it.

Thanks a lot!

Yes. Import an almost empty LDIF file. You can also copy the on-disk
database underneath a server (when it is shut down), if you know what
you're doing.
