Modifications made by refint are not replicated. They neither update the
modification timestamp nor the CSN used for replication. This is serious
data loss, because the replicas gets out of sync pretty quickly. There
seems to be no way to recover from this discrepancy without doing a
complete replication.

While this seems to be known, it is not documented at all in the
man-pages related to the refint and memberof overlays. Also it violates
the principle of least surprise, because the changes are not limited to
operational attributes.

Hi Bastian,

refint is working as designed in this case. I will file an upstream ITS for you to improve the documentation in this area. In general, this really should have been filed as an upstream issue to begin with, as Debian really has nothing to do with OpenLDAP development or documentation.
