GLPRPL038E Error error string occurred for replica 'entry name': EXTERNAL bind failed.

Explanation

The supplier failed to bind using the EXTERNAL bind mechanism.

User response

Verify that an SASL bind with mechanism EXTERNAL can be performed with the consumer using a command line utility (ldapsearch). If this succeeds, check the credential object defined in the replication agreement and confirm that the DN used to bind is correct. In addition, make sure the consumer has the proper master DN defined in the server's configuration file.
