Description
136 Netscape Directory Server Configuration, Command, and File Reference • August 2002
When enabled the post operation Referential Integrity plug-in
performs integrity updates on the member, uniquemember, owner
and seeAlso attributes immediately after a delete or rename
operation. You can reconfigure the plug-in to perform integrity
checks on all other attributes.
Configurable arguments are as follows:
1. Check for referential integrity.
-1 = no check for referential integrity
0 = check for referential integrity is performed immediately
positive integer = request for referential integrity is
queued and processed at a later stage. This positive integer
serves as a wake-up call for the thread to process the request, at
intervals corresponding to the integer specified.
2. Log file for storing the change, for example
/usr/netscape/servers/logs/referint
3. All the additional attribute names you want to be checked for
referential integrity.
database
You should enable the Referential Integrity plug-in on only one
master in a multi-master replication environment to avoid conflict
resolution loops. When enabling the plug-in on chained servers you
must be sure to analyze your performance resource and time needs
as well as your integrity needs. Note that integrity checks can be
time consuming and draining on memory/CPU.
See Chapter 3, "Configuring Directory Databases" in the Netscape
Directory Server Administrator's Guide.
