LFCS Question #144: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Which of the following steps should be followed when configuring a slave slapd server? (Choose THREE correct answers.)

Options

• AAdd a replica directive to slapd.conf.
• BDo not add a replogfile directive to slapd.conf.
• CAdd an updatedn directive to slapd.conf.
• DAdd a replogfile directive to slapd.conf.
• EDo not add a replica directive to slapd.conf.

Explanation

When configuring a slave OpenLDAP server for replication in a legacy slapd.conf setup, it's crucial to define the updatedn and to avoid master-specific directives like replica and replogfile.

Common mistakes.

• A. The replica directive is used on the master server to define its slaves, not on the slave server itself; including it on a slave is incorrect.
• D. The replogfile directive is a master-side configuration option, enabling the master to track changes for replication; it is not configured on the slave server.

Concept tested. OpenLDAP slave server configuration (slapd.conf)
