Increase bdii debug level to WARNING
In the past month I had several time bumps into issues with information publishing to LDAP.
If some mandatory (according to schema) attribute is missing - the object is not published to LDAP silently. You have to be experienced with ARC to check LDAP, notice something suspicious and increase BDII debug level to see what is wrong exactly.
Increasing BDII debug level to WARNING (that holds such errors) will help to raise such issues to bdii-update.log and allow admins to see what goes wrong.
Just compare the output:
bdii_debug_level=ERROR (with and without issues)
