When a delete operation is replicated, and the consumer server finds that the entry
to be deleted has child entries, the conflict resolution procedure creates a glue entry
to avoid having orphaned entries in the directory.
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
. Glue entries can be created in several ways:
