Hi,
I'm reading the documentation about nsDS5replicatype. When this is set to 2, this is listed as "read-only". Does that mean that the DS instance will reject or send a referral to the client on add/mod/del operations but will still accept replica updates? This behaviour isn't made very clear in the documentation is all, so I want to be sure of how it works.
Sincerely,
Hi William,
nsDS5replicatype means a read-only consumer or a hub (nsDS5Flags: 1 => hub, nsds5flags: 0 => read only consumer)
I confirm that replica updates will be taking place and any direct add/del/mod will be answered with referral if rightly configured.
This is shown in (7) here:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/9.0/h...
Thanks and regards,
German.

Hi William,
nsDS5replicatype means a read-only consumer or a hub (nsDS5Flags: 1 => hub,
I mean nsDS5replicatype == 2
nsds5flags: 0 => read only consumer)
I confirm that replica updates will be taking place and any direct add/del/mod will be answered with referral if rightly configured.

Thanks for the clarification. I assumed this is how it worked, but I wanted to be sure. I'll be certain to read the provided documentation.

Thanks and regards,
The documentation is good, but unless I'm mistaken, it actually doesn't detail the behaviour that I am asking about. No where on that page does it say that "setting thing flag will reject add/mod/del/modrdn, and if configured correctly will send a referral."
Perhaps this is a candidate for clarification in the documentation.
Hi William,
thanks a lot for the remark. I will check with documentation team to see if it can be explicitly mentioned.
regards,
German.

You're welcome. I like documentation to be explicit, as it helps make it more accessible to people from all levels of ability with the software.
Thanks for your time in following this up.
