LDAP Attributes Affected by Delays

If the delay in updating the slave directory servers is short (only a few seconds), clients might not experience a problem. However, if the delay is longer (minutes or hours), clients will display inaccurate LDAP data for the length of the delay.

The following table lists the LDAP attributes that are affected by a delay in a master/slave LDAP server configuration where Calendar Server accesses the master LDAP directory server through a slave LDAP directory server.
