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 both servers in the multi-master set.
You can use the referential integrity plug-in with multi-master replication
providing that this plug-in is enabled on just one master in the multi-master set.
This ensures that referential integrity updates are made on just one of the master
servers, and propagated to the other.
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 77.

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