Chapter 2. Core Server Configuration Reference

2.3.5. cn=mapping tree

• Configuration attributes for suffixes, replication, and Windows synchronization are stored under

cn=mapping tree,cn=config. Configuration attributes related to suffixes are found under the

suffix subentry cn=suffix, cn=mapping tree,cn=config.

For example, a suffix is the root entry in the directory tree, such as dc=example,dc=com.

• Replication configuration attributes are stored under cn=replica, cn=suffix, cn=mapping

tree,cn=config.

• Replication agreement attributes are stored under cn=replicationAgreementName, cn=replica,

cn=suffix,cn=mapping tree,cn=config.

• Windows synchronization agreement attributes are stored under cn=syncAgreementName,

cn=replica, cn=suffix,cn=mapping tree,cn=config.

2.3.6. Suffix Configuration Attributes under cn="suffixName"

Suffix configuration attributes are stored under the cn=suffix entry. The cn=suffix entry is an instance

of the nsMappingTree object class which inherits from the extensibleObject object class. For

suffix configuration attributes to be taken into account by the server, these object classes (in addition

to the top object class) must be present in the entry.

The suffix DN should be quoted because the suffix DN contains characters such as equals signs (=),

commas (,), and space characters that must be quoted or escaped to appear as a value in another

DN.

2.3.6.1. nsslapd-state
