This attribute sets the base DN to search for entries to which to apply the distributed numeric assignment. This is analogous to the base DN in an ldapsearch.

This attribute defines a shared identity that the servers can use to transfer ranges to one another. This entry is replicated between servers and is managed by the
NOTE:
The shared configuration entry must be configured in the replicated subtree, so that the entry can be replicated to the servers. For example, if the ou=People,dc=example,dc=com subtree is replicated, then the configuration entry must be in that subtree, such as ou=UID Number Ranges, ou=People,dc=example,dc=com.
The entry identified by this setting must be manually created by the administrator. The server will automatically contain a

One potential situation with the Distributed Numeric Assignment
So that the server can recognize when it is reaching the end of its assigned range, the dnaThreshold atttribute sets a threshold of remaining available numbers in the range. When the server hits the threshold, it sends a request for a new range.
For range requests to be performed, the dnaSharedCfgDN attribute must be set.
