When implementing assured replication, make note of the following.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
|
Client Controls |
The client can include an assured replication request control with each operation. This control allows the client to specify bounds on assurance levels, override the timeout assigned by the matching replication assurance policy for the associated operation, or both. The server always honors these request controls. For more information, see About the Assured Replication Controls. |
|
Directory Proxy Server |
Replication assurance policies are not supported on PingDirectoryProxy Server. Replication client controls are passed through to the underlying Directory Server backend. |
|
Schema backend Replication |
The schema backend is not supported by assured replication. Replication assurance policies that include criteria to match this backend are rejected. |
|
Backward Compatibility |
Server versions that support assured replication are backwards-compatible with prior versions that do not support assured replication. |
|
WAN-Friendly Replication |
Assured replication functions independently from WAN-Friendly Replication and the notion of WAN Gateways. |
|
Global Configuration Properties |
Directory Server provides two configurable global configuration properties that determine the timing of the assurance source and maximum number of replication backup updates recognized as an available source.
