Select “SSL Client Authentication” or “Simple Authentication.
If you select SSL Client Authentication, the supplier and consumer servers will
use certificates to authenticate to each other.
If you select Simple Authentication, the supplier and consumer servers will use
a bind DN and password to authenticate to each other. You must specify this
information in the text fields provided. When you specify this option, simple
authentication takes place over a secure channel but without certificates.

Replication with Earlier Releases
This section provides information on how to optimize replication with earlier
releases of Directory Server. This version of Directory Server can be involved in
replication scenarios with earlier releases of Directory Server, providing the
following conditions are met:
• Directory Server is defined as a consumer in the replication agreement.
• The legacy suppliers can be Directory Server 4.0, 4.1, 4.11, and 4.12.
The following restrictions apply:
• A legacy Directory Server and this version of Directory Server cannot update
the same replica. However, this version of Directory Server can have different
replicas, where one is supplied by a legacy Directory Server, and the other is
supplied by this version of Directory Server.
• This version of Directory Server cannot be a supplier for other replicas.
The main advantage of being able to use this version of Directory Server as a
consumer of a legacy Directory Server is to ease the migration of a replicated
environment. For more information on the steps to follow to migrate a replicated
environment, refer to the Netscape Directory Server Installation Guide.
