How replication information is stored in the server

Replication information is stored in the directory in three places:

• The server configuration, which contains information about how other servers can authenticate to this server to perform replication (for example, who this server allows to act as a supplier).
• In the directory at the top of a replicated subtree. If "o=my company" is the top of a replicated subtree, an object named "ibm-replicagroup=default" will be created directly beneath it (ibm-replicagroup=default,o=my company). Beneath the "ibm-replicagroup=default" object will be additional objects that describe the servers holding replicas of the subtree and the agreements between the servers.
• An object named "cn=replication,cn=localhost" is used to contain replication information that is used only by one server. For example, the object containing the credentials used by a supplier server are needed only by the supplier server. Credentials can be placed under "cn=replication,cn=localhost" making them accessible only by that server.
• An object named "cn=replication, cn=IBMpolicies" is used to contain replication information that is replicated to other servers.
