A replication agreement on a consumer is failing. The administrator checks the provider's logs and sees that the consumer's bind attempt is being rejected with 'invalid credentials'. The consumer's syncrepl configuration uses a dedicated replication account. What is the most likely cause of this failure?

The bind DN or password in the consumer's syncrepl configuration does not match the replication account defined on the provider.

The search base in the consumer's syncrepl configuration is outside the provider's database suffix.

The provider's TLS certificate has expired, causing the TLS handshake to fail.

The consumer is using the wrong replication mode (refreshOnly instead of refreshAndPersist).

A consumer is not receiving updates from the provider. The administrator checks the consumer's logs and finds no replication-related messages. Which tool or command should the administrator use to manually trigger a synchronization and observe the result?

Run slapcat on the consumer to dump the local database and compare it with the provider.

Run slaptest on the consumer to validate the configuration file syntax.

Run ldapsearch on the consumer against the provider to verify the search base is valid.

Run slapd -T sync on the consumer to force a one-time synchronization with the provider.
