Included and Excluded Naming Contexts

You can specify a given naming context for replication, but exclude from that replication one or more of the subtrees within that naming context. You can also exclude from replication one or more of the attributes in that naming context.

In LDAP-based replication, naming contexts are excluded from replication by default.

In replication based on Oracle9i Advanced Replication, naming contexts are included by default. To exclude a naming context from replication, specify it in the orclexcludednamingcontext attribute in the replication agreement orclagreementid=000001.

Figure 24-6 and the accompanying text further exemplify the use of the naming context container and its objects.

In Figure 24-6, the naming context included for replication is cn=us. Within that naming context, one subtree, namely cn=users,cn=hr,cn=us is excluded from replication. Moreover, two of the attributes of the cn=us naming context are excluded from replication--namely, userpassword and telephonenumber.
