Subtree replication (advanced)

This information applies to advanced deployments.

To configure subtree replication, split the data across more than one backend, each with its own replication domain.

For example, use different backends for ou=People,dc=example,dc=com and other dc=example,dc=com data:

  • Configure a backend and replication domain for everything in dc=example,dc=com except ou=People,dc=example,dc=com.

  • Configure a separate backend and replication domain for ou=People,dc=example,dc=com.

The backend base-dn and the replication domain base-dn settings must match in each case.

Subordinate backends include important requirements and limitations. Before you implement this feature, read Subordinate backends carefully.
