Note –

You can manually change the value of the nsslapd-state attribute. For example, you can change the value to referral or referral on update if you want the server to be read-only for the duration of a backup.

However, if replication is enabled, replication manages the value of the nsslapd-state attribute, and overwrites the value you have manually set.
