Enabling Referrals Only During Update Operations
You may want to configure your directory to redirect update and write requests
made by client applications to a read-only database.
For example, you can enable referrals for update operations when you have a local
copy of the directory data that you do not own. You want the data to be available
for searches but not for updates. You do this by enabling referrals only during
update requests. When a client application asks to update an entry, the client is
referred to the server that owns the data, where the modification request can
proceed.
To enable referrals only during update operations:
1.
On the Directory Server Console select the Configuration tab.
2.
Under Data in the left pane, click the suffix to which you want to add a referral.
3.
Click the Suffix Settings tab. Select the “Use Referrals on Update” radio button.
4.
Click the Referrals tab. Enter an LDAP URL in the “Enter a new referral” field
or click Construct to be guided through the creation of an LDAP URL.
For more information about the structure of LDAP URLs, refer to Appendix C,
“LDAP URLs.”
5.
Click Add to add the referral to the list.
You can enter multiple referrals. The directory will return the entire list of
referrals in response to requests from client applications.
6.
Click Save.
Disabling a Suffix
Sometime you may need to take down a database for maintenance, but the data the
database contains is not replicated. Rather than returning a referral, you can
disable the suffix responsible for the database.
Once you disable a suffix, the contents of the database related to the suffix are
invisible to client applications when they perform LDAP operations such as search,
add, and modify.
