For details, see [Property value substitution](expressions.html). | Basic Properties | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [base-dn](#base-dn) [ecl-include](#ecl-include) [ecl-include-for-deletes](#ecl-include-for-deletes) [enabled](#enabled) [fractional-exclude](#fractional-exclude) [fractional-include](#fractional-include) | ### Basic properties Use the `--advanced` option to access advanced properties. ### base-dn | | | | ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | *Synopsis* | Specifies the base DN of the replicated data. | | *Default value* | None | | *Allowed values* | A valid DN. | | *Multi-valued* | No | | *Required* | Yes | | *Admin action required* | None | | *Advanced* | No | | *Read-only* | Yes | ### ecl-include | | | | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | *Synopsis* | Specifies a list of attributes which should be published with every change log entry, regardless of whether the attribute itself has changed. | | *Description* | The list of attributes may include wild cards such as "\*" and "+" as well as object class references prefixed with an at sign, for example "@person". The included attributes will be published using the "includedAttributes" operational attribute as a single LDIF value rather like the "changes" attribute. For modify and modifyDN operations the included attributes will be taken from the entry before any changes were applied. | | *Default value* | None | | *Allowed values* | A string. | | *Multi-valued* | Yes | | *Required* | No | | *Admin action required* | None | | *Advanced* | No | | *Read-only* | No | ### ecl-include-for-deletes | | | | ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | *Synopsis* | Specifies a list of attributes which should be published with every delete operation change log entry, in addition to those specified by the "ecl-include" property. | | *Description* | This property provides a means for applications to archive entries after they have been deleted. See the description of the "ecl-include" property for further information about how the included attributes are published. | | *Default value* | None | | *Allowed values* | A string. | | *Multi-valued* | Yes | | *Required* | No | | *Admin action required* | None | | *Advanced* | No | | *Read-only* | No | ### enabled | | | | ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | *Synopsis* | Indicates whether the Replication Domain is enabled in the server. | | *Description* | If a Replication Domain is not enabled, then its contents will not be replicated. | | *Default value* | true | | *Allowed values* | truefalse | | *Multi-valued* | No | | *Required* | No | | *Admin action required* | None | | *Advanced* | No | | *Read-only* | No | ### fractional-exclude | | | | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | *Synopsis* | Allows to exclude some attributes to replicate to this server. | | *Description* | If fractional-exclude configuration attribute is used, attributes specified in this attribute will be ignored (not added/modified/deleted) when an operation performed from another directory server is being replayed in the local server. Note that the usage of this configuration attribute is mutually exclusive with the usage of the fractional-include attribute. | | *Default value* | None | | *Allowed values* | The name of one or more attribute types in the named object class to be excluded. The object class may be "\*" indicating that the attribute type(s) should be excluded regardless of the type of entry they belong to. | | *Multi-valued* | Yes | | *Required* | No | | *Admin action required* | None | | *Advanced* | No | | *Read-only* | No | ### fractional-include | | | | ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | *Synopsis* | Allows to include some attributes to replicate to this server. | | *Description* | If fractional-include configuration attribute is used, only attributes specified in this attribute will be added/modified/deleted when an operation performed from another directory server is being replayed in the local server. Note that the usage of this configuration attribute is mutually exclusive with the usage of the fractional-exclude attribute. | | *Default value* | None | | *Allowed values* | The name of one or more attribute types in the named object class to be included. The object class may be "\*" indicating that the attribute type(s) should be included regardless of the type of entry they belong to. | | *Multi-valued* | Yes | | *Required* | No | | *Admin action required* | None | | *Advanced* | No | | *Read-only* | No |
