ldbedit and backllinked attributes computation

[Denis Cardon]

Hi all,

lately I have been doing some more DC/RODC ldap cleansing. In one RODC I 
had one reference to an old DC in the msDS-IsFullReplicaFor on the 
dc=ForestDnsZones,dc=mydomain,dc=local entry (a demoted DC with the 
\0ADEL flag). I saw this discrepancy throught the ldapcmp utility, the 
source DC is clean (after some work), but it seems like it was not 
properly propataged to the RODC for some reasons.

I realise it would be simpler to just re-join the RODC or try a 
--sync-force, but I thought it was a good opportunity to look deeper in 
the subject before doing a full resync.

Since this msDS-IsFullReplicaFor attribute is back link for 
msDS-hasFullReplicaNCs, ApacheDirectoryStudio or ldbedit don't want to 
delete the msDS-IsFullReplicaFor attribute, which if sounds like normal 
behavior.

If I just delete the \0DEL entry with ldbdel, the backlink is not 
updated, even after a restart. So my question is how and when are 
triggered the backlink computation?

Cheers,

Denis
