Red Hat 8.1 - Manual (Page 62)

Windows synchronization agreement attributes are stored under cn=syncAgreementName,
cn=replica, cn=suffix,cn=m apping tree,cn=config.
2.3.6. Suffix Configuration Attributes under cn="suffixName"
Suffix configuration attributes are stored under the cn=suffix entry. The cn=suffix entry is an instance of
the nsMappingTree object class which inherits from the extensibleObject object class. For suffix
configuration attributes to be taken into account by the server, these object classes (in addition to the
top object class) must be present in the entry.
The suffix DN should be quoted because the suffix DN contains characters such as equals signs (=),
commas (,), and space characters that must be quoted or escaped to appear as a value in another DN.
2.3.6.1. nsslapd-state
Determines how the suffix handles operations.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=suffix, cn=mapping tree, cn=config
Valid Values backend | disabled | referral | referral on update
backend means the backend (database) is used
to process all operations.
disabled means the database is not available for
processing operations. The server returns a "No
such search object" error in response to
requests made by client applications.
referral means a referral is returned for requests
made to this suffix.
referral on update means the database is used
for all operations except update requests, which
receive a referral.
Default Value backend
Syntax DirectoryString
Example nsslapd-state: backend
2.3.6.2. nsslapd-backend
Gives the name of the database or database link used to process requests. This attribute can be multi-
valued, with one database or database link per value. This attribute is required when the value of the
nsslapd-state attribute is set to backend or referral on update. The value should be the name
of the backend database entry instance under cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config. For
example:
o=NetscapeRoot,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=suffix, cn=mapping tree, cn=config
Valid Values Any valid partition name
Default Value None
Syntax DirectoryString
Example nsslapd-backend: userRoot
2.3.7. Replication Attributes under cn=replica, cn="suffixDN", cn=mapping tree, cn=config
Replication configuration attributes are stored under cn=replica, cn=suffix, cn=mapping tree,
cn=config. The cn=replica entry is an instance of the nsDS5Replica object class. For
replication configuration attributes to be taken into account by the server, this object class (in addition to
the top object class) must be present in the entry. For further information about replication, see the
"Managing Replication" chapter in the Directory Server Administrator's Guide.
2.3.7.1. nsDS5Flags
This attribute sets replica properties that were previously defined in flags. At present only one flag
exists, which sets whether the log changes.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=replica, cn=suffixDN, cn=mapping tree,
cn=config
