An internal Directory Server housekeeping operation periodically removes tombstone entries which are older than the value of this attribute (in seconds). State information which is older than the nsDS5ReplicaPurgeDelay value is removed when an entry which contains the the state information is modified.

Not every tombstone and state information may be removed because, with multi-master replication, the server may need to keep a small number of the latest updates to prime replication, even if they are older than the value of the attribute.

This attribute specifies the interval, in seconds, to perform internal purge operations on an entry. When setting this attribute, ensure that the purge delay is longer than the longest replication cycle in the replication policy to preserve enough information to resolve replication conflicts and to prevent the copies of data stored in different servers from diverging..

2.3.7.8 nsDS5ReplicaReferral

This multi-valued attribute specifies the user-defined referrals. This should only be defined on a consumer. User referrals are only returned when a client attempts to modify data on a read-only consumer. This optional referral overrides the referral that is automatically configured by the consumer by the replication protocol.

Parameter

Description

Entry DN

cn=replica, cn=suffixDN, cn=mapping tree, cn=config

 

 

Valid Values

Any valid LDAP URL

 

 

Default Value

 

 

 

Syntax

DirectoryString

 

 

Example

nsDS5ReplicaReferral: ldap://ldap.example.com

 

 

2.3.7.9 nsDS5ReplicaRoot

This attribute sets the DN at the root of a replicated area. This attribute must have the same value as the suffix of the database being replicated and cannot be modified.

Parameter

Description

Entry DN

cn=replica, cn=suffixDN, cn=mapping tree, cn=config

 

 

Valid Values

Suffix of the database being replicated, which is the suffix DN

 

 

Default Value

 

 

 

Syntax

DirectoryString

 

 

Example

nsDS5ReplicaRoot: "dc=example,dc=com"
