step to fix

• cancel the replication process
• uninstall with

/usr/sbin/ipa-server-install --uninstall

• create file ‘custom.ldif’ with content:

dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: nsslapd-maxsasliosize
nsslapd-maxsasliosize: 8388608
replace: nsslapd-sasl-max-buffer-size
nsslapd-sasl-max-buffer-size: 8388608

• rerun ipa-replica-install by adding option ‘–dirsrv-config-file=custom.ldif’
