[389-users] Unable to promote a replica

I've installed 389-Directory 1.4 on CentOS 8 from EPEL
https://directory.fedoraproject.org/docs/389ds/download.html
it looks like I have 1.4.4

Today's problem is I'm unable to promote a replica from a 'consumer' to
a 'supplier'. I've tried using the cockpit web-gui, as well as dsconf
from the command line.

When using cockpit, I get a error box containing:

> Failed to promote replica - Failed to create changelog: {'msgtype': 105, 'msgid': 9, 'result': 53, 'desc': 'Server is unwilling to perform', 'ctrls': [], 'info': 'Changelog configuration is part of the backend configuration'}

when using dnsconf, it returns (essentially) the same thing:

> Error: Failed to create changelog: {'msgtype': 105, 'msgid': 9, 'result': 53, 'desc': 'Server is unwilling to perform', 'ctrls': [], 'info': 'Changelog configuration is part of the backend configuration'}

When I look in the audit-log, I see:
> time: 20210802150607
> dn: cn=changelog5,cn=config
> result: 53
> changetype: add
> objectClass: top
> objectClass: nsChangelogConfig
> cn: changelog5
> nsslapd-changelogdir: /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-dirmaster/changelogdb
> creatorsName: cn=Directory Manager
> modifiersName: cn=Directory Manager
> createTimestamp: 20210802230607Z
> modifyTimestamp: 20210802230607Z

When I look in the error-log, I see NSMMReplicationPlugin is throwing a
NOTICE error message:

> NOTICE - NSMMReplicationPlugin - changelog program - changelog5_config_add - Separate changelog no longer supported; use cn=changelog,<backend> instead


I interpret these to mean dsconf is trying to define the the attribute
"nsslapd-changelogdir" on cn=changelog5,cn=config. And that the
replication plugin is saying, "Not so fast there, cowboy. That's not the
way it is done any more."


What is the correct process to promote a replica?

Do things because you should, not just because you can.
