The number of  “userPassword;vucsn-#####;deleted:” for these three particular 
users is apparently so high that it makes the object too big to import into a 
new replica.

Is there a way to verify that these are being trimmed like they should?  Does 
this behavior have something to do with the replica’s “Purge Delay” value?

Is there  a way to find date and time from the vucsn number?

Is there a way to manually purge these entries, or to shorten the interval 
between trimmings?

Thanks

It probably doesn’t make a lot of difference but I used:
                rpm -qi 389 and used the metadata to determine the version 
rather than the name of the rpm.

What is the preferred method of determining version number?

rpm -qi 389-ds-base


Is there a good place I can go to educate myself on what a “vucsn” actually 
means, and possibly why I have hundreds of thousands of them for userPassword 
in my initialization files?

It is replication meta-data which is supposed to be automatically trimmed.



Thanks

In attempting to stand up a new consumer in our environment, the process of 
allowing the supplier to initialize the consumer directly would corrupt the 
consumer irrevocably.

I have ruled out firewalls, SSL issues etc.

When attempting to initialize via an ldif, I get errors on three user accounts 
more or less identical to this:

WARNING: skipping entry “uid=<etc…..>” ending line 296901 of file “<path to my 
ldif file>”
REASON: entry too large (15503712 bytes) for the buffer size (8388608 bytes)

When I examine the ldif file that the supplier created, the three user objects 
it’s complaining about all have +/- 100,000 entries like this:

userPassword;vucsn-520b35cb000000010000;deleted: 
{SSHA256}5WJ9hosO3JO9VLa32nqxmGjn3XoShD1c1g+abekZDCFTX1MM187Bjg==

Each line has a different hash.  But most of the other user objects only have a 
couple of these lines.

Clearly 100k+ password changes is a little excessive and it’s something I’ll 
need to look into, but in the meantime, can anyone help me figure out what has 
caused all of these to remain in the directory, and what can I do to clean them 
up?



Thanks,
Samson
