• Fractional Replication:
Directory Server 7.1 introduces fractional replication, a way of replicating a
database without replicating all information in it. This feature allows an
administrator to select a set of attributes that will not be replicated.
• Password Change Extended Operation:
Directory Server 7.1 supports the password change extended operation as defined in
RFC 3062. This allows users to change their passwords using a suitable client,
according to industry standards.
• Filesystem Replica Initialization:
Directory Server 7.1 adds the capability to initialize a replica using the database
files from the supplier server, avoiding the need to rebuild the consumer server
database, and can be done at essentially the speed of the raw network between the
two servers by transferring the files. Where the servers contain gigabytes of data,
the improvement in performance is significant.
