nsslapd-distribution-plugin

distribution plug-in library

Description

Specifies the full path and filename of the shared library for the custom distribution plug-in. This attribute is required along with nsslapd-distribution-funct when you have specified more than one suffix in the nsslapd-backend attribute.

Note:

Use Directory Proxy Server, rather than a Directory Server plug-in, for distribution.

Entry DN: cn="suffixName",cn=mapping tree,cn=config
Valid Range: The full path and filename of the plug-in library.
Default Value: None
Syntax: DirectoryString
Example: nsslapd-distribution-plugin: /custom/plugins/myDistrib.so

Once you have distributed entries, you cannot redistribute them. The following restrictions apply.

You cannot change your distribution function once you have deployed entry distribution.
You cannot use the ldapmodify command to change an entry if that would cause them to be distributed into a different database.
You cannot replicate databases that are distributed over multiple databases.

Violating these restrictions prevents Directory Server from correctly locating and returning entries.
