Script to check LDAP syncrepl replication state between two servers
===================================================================
This script check LDAP syncrepl replication state between two servers.
One server is consider as provider and the other as consumer.
This script can check replication state with two method :
- by the fisrt, entryCSN of all entries of LDAP directory will be
compare between two servers
- by the second, all values of all atributes of all entries will
be compare between two servers.
In all case, contextCSN of servers will be compare and entries not
present in consumer or in provider will be notice. You can decide to
disable contextCSN verification by using argument --no-check-contextCSN.
This script is also able to "touch" LDAP object on provider to force
synchronisation of this object. This mechanism consist to add '%%TOUCH%%'
value to an attribute of this object and remove it just after. The
touched attribute is specify by parameter --touch. Of course, couple of
DN and password provided, must have write right on this attribute.
To use this script as Nagios plugin, use -n argument
Requirement

A single couple of DN and password able to connect to both server
and without restriction to retrieve objects from servers.
Usage
-----
Usage: check_syncrepl_extended [options]

--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p PROVIDER, --provider=PROVIDER
LDAP provider URI (example :
ldaps://ldapmaster.foo:636)
-c CONSUMER, --consumer=CONSUMER
LDAP consumer URI (example :
ldaps://ldapslave.foo:636)
-D DN, --dn=DN LDAP bind DN (example :
uid=nagios,ou=sysaccounts,o=example
-P PWD, --pwd=PWD LDAP bind password
-b BASEDN, --basedn=BASEDN
LDAP base DN (example : o=example)
-f FILTER, --filter=FILTER
LDAP filter (default : (objectClass=*))
-d, --debug Debug mode
-n, --nagios Nagios check plugin mode
-q, --quiet Quiet mode
--no-check-certificate
Don't check the server certificate (Default : False)
--no-check-contextCSN
Don't check servers contextCSN (Default : False)
-a, --attributes Check attributes values (Default : check only

--exclude-attributes=EXCL_ATTRS
