SIMS 3.5 pure proxy is a stand-alone product that you must install on a server where SIMS is not installed. Pure proxy installs as a replicated slave to a remote master SIMS server.Before installing, see Chapter "Preparing to Install SIMS 3.5," for guidelines regarding proxies installation.

To ensure that the directory schema in the slave (pure proxy) LDAP server is synchronized with the master (SIMS) LDAP server, you need to manually copy the schema files from the master (SIMS) server. These schema files are/etc/opt/SUNWconn/ldap/current/slapd.conf
/etc/opt/SUNWconn/ldap/current/slapd.at.conf
/etc/opt/SUNWconn/ldap/current/slapd.oc.confThis will ensure that all directories in the slave server will serve the same set of objects that are available on the master server. For procedure to copy the schema configuration files from SIMS master server to the proxy server see Sun Internet Mail Server 3.5 Administrator's Guide.
Directory replication ensures that the master and slave servers have the same replication configuration so that the updates work properly. Replication between servers with dissimilar schema may lead to unpredictable results.
To populate users to a proxy-based LDAP directory, see Chapter "Configuring SIMS as a Proxy Mail Access Server," in the Sun Internet Mail Server 3.5 Administrator's Guide.
