[389-users] Re: replication via ldaps

Sure, doesn't seem to have much in it, also including a screenshot of the GUI showing the replication configured and enabled on the same server (primary):

# replication, config

dn: cn=replication,cn=config

objectClass: top

objectClass: nsContainer

cn: replication

# replication manager, config

dn: cn=replication manager,cn=config

objectClass: top

objectClass: inetUser

objectClass: netscapeServer

objectClass: nsAccount

cn: replication manager

uid: replication manager

userPassword:: xxx

Hi, I'm following the instructions to setup replication in CHAPTER 2. CONFIGURING SINGLE-SUPPLIER REPLICATION
USING THE WEB CONSOLE 

I get a "Error (-1) - LDAP error: Can't contact LDAP server - no response received " in the GUI

The logs on supplier say this:

[06/Jan/2026:11:47:51.180037306 +0000] - ERR - slapi_ldap_bind - Could not send bind request for id [cn=replication manager,cn=config] authentication mechanism [SIMPLE]: error -1 (Can't contact LDAP server), system error -5987 (Invalid function argument.), network error 0 (Unknown error, host "second.xxx.com:636")

Can you show us the replication configuration from cn=config in that case? My guess is the URL is wrong in the config.
