Chapter 2. Core Server Configuration Reference
Windows synchronization agreement attributes are stored under cn=syncAgreementName,
cn=replica, cn=suffix,cn=m apping tree,cn=config.
2.3.6. Suffix Configuration Attributes under cn="suffixName"
Suffix configuration attributes are stored under the cn=suffix entry. T he cn=suffix entry is an instance of
the nsMappingT ree object class which inherits from the extensibleObject object class. For suffix
configuration attributes to be taken into account by the server, these object classes (in addition to the
top object class) must be present in the entry.
T he suffix DN should be quoted because the suffix DN contains characters such as equals signs (=),
commas (,), and space characters that must be quoted or escaped to appear as a value in another DN.
2.3.6.1. nsslapd-state
Determines how the suffix handles operations.

nsslapd-state attribute is set to backend or referral on update. T he value should be the name
of the backend database entry instance under cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config. For

2.3.7. Replication Attributes under cn=replica, cn="suffixDN", cn=mapping tree, cn=config
Replication configuration attributes are stored under cn=replica, cn=suffix, cn=m apping tree,
cn=config. T he cn=replica entry is an instance of the nsDS5Replica object class. For
replication configuration attributes to be taken into account by the server, this object class (in addition to
the top object class) must be present in the entry. For further information about replication, see the
"Managing Replication" chapter in the Directory Server Administrator's Guide.
2.3.7.1. nsDS5Flags
T his attribute sets replica properties that were previously defined in flags. At present only one flag
exists, which sets whether the log changes.
