Replication with Earlier Releases

This section provides information on how to optimize replication with earlier
releases of Directory Server. This version of Directory Server can be involved in
replication scenarios with earlier releases of Directory Server, providing the
following conditions are met:
• Directory Server is defined as a consumer in the replication agreement.
• The legacy suppliers can be Directory Server 4.0, 4.1, and 4.1x.
The following restrictions apply:
• A legacy Directory Server and this version of Directory Server cannot update
the same replica. However, this version of Directory Server can have different
replicas, where one is supplied by a legacy Directory Server, and the other is
supplied by this version of Directory Server.
