Using Replication with Other Directory Features
You cannot use multi-master replication with the attribute uniqueness plug-in
at all because this plug-in can validate only attribute values on the same
server, not on multiple servers in the multi-master set.
•
Referential Integrity Plug-in
You can use the referential integrity plug-in with multi-master replication,
providing that this plug-in is enabled on just one supplier in the multi-master
set. This ensures that referential integrity updates are made on just one of the
supplier servers and propagated to the others.
NOTE
Replication and Database Links
When you distribute entries using chaining, the server containing the database
link points to a remote server that contains the actual data. In this environment,
you cannot replicate the database link itself. You can, however, replicate the
database that contains the actual data on the remote server.
You must not use the replication process as a backup for database links. You must
backup database links manually. For more information about chaining and entry
distribution, refer to chapter 5, "Designing the Directory Topology," on page 91.

By default, these plug-ins are disabled. You need to use the
Directory Server Console or the command-line to enable them.
