5.6.3 Setting Up a Server Filter
A server replication filter contains the set of eDirectory classes and attributes you want to host on a
server's set of filtered replicas. You can set up a filter from any Server object. For filtered replicas,
you can have only one filter per server. This means that any filter defined for an eDirectory server
applies to all filtered replicas on that server. The filter, however, does not apply to full replicas.
A server's filter man be modified if required, but the operation generates a resynchronization of the
replica and can thus be time consuming. Careful planning of the server's function is recommended.
You can set up or modify a server filter in either of the following ways:
