Solving Common Replication Conflicts
In the same way, when an add operation is replicated, and the consumer server
cannot find the parent entry, the conflict resolution procedure creates a glue entry
representing the parent so that the new entry is not an orphan entry.
Glue entries are temporary entries that include the object classes
extensibleObject
• If the conflict resolution procedure finds a deleted entry with a matching
unique identifier, the glue entry is a resurrection of that entry, with the
addition of the
In such cases, you can either modify the glue entry to remove the
class and the
entry, or you can delete the glue entry and its child entries.
• The server creates a minimalistic entry with the
object classes.
In such cases, you must modify the entry to turn it into a meaningful entry, or
delete it and all of its child entries.

Solving Potential Interoperability Problems

For reasons of interoperability with applications that rely on attribute uniqueness
such as a mail server, you might need to restrict access to the entries which contain
the
nsds5ReplConflict
the applications requiring one attribute only, will pick up both the original entry
and the conflict resolution entry containing the
operations will fail.
To restrict access you need to modify the default ACI that grants anonymous read
access, using the following command:
ldapmodify -h hostname -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w passwd
> dn: dc=example,dc=com
> changetype: modify
> delete: aci
> aci: (target ="ldap:///dc=example,dc=com")(targetattr
!="userPassword")(version 3.0;acl "Anonymous read-search
access";allow (read, search, compare)(userdn = "ldap:///anyone");)
