HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 configuration, command, and file reference

3.7.8 dnaScope
This attribute sets the base DN to search for entries to which to apply the distributed numeric
assignment. This is analogous to the base DN in an ldapsearch.

3.7.9 dnaSharedCfgDN
This attribute defines a shared identity that the servers can use to transfer ranges to one another.
This entry is replicated between servers and is managed by the plug-in to let the other servers
know what ranges are available. This attribute must be set for range transfers to be enabled.
NOTE:
The shared configuration entry must be configured in the replicated subtree, so that the entry
can be replicated to the servers. For example, if the ou=People,dc=example,dc=com subtree
is replicated, then the configuration entry must be in that subtree, such as ou=UID Number
Ranges, ou=People,dc=example,dc=com.
The entry identified by this setting must be manually created by the administrator. The server
will automatically contain a sub-entry beneath it to transfer ranges.

3.7.10 dnaThreshold
One potential situation with the Distributed Numeric Assignment Plug-in is that one server
begins to run out of numbers to assign, which can cause problems. The Distributed Numeric
Assignment Plug-in allows the server to request a new range from the available ranges on other
servers.
So that the server can recognize when it is reaching the end of its assigned range, the
dnaThreshold atttribute sets a threshold of remaining available numbers in the range. When
the server hits the threshold, it sends a request for a new range.
For range requests to be performed, the dnaSharedCfgDN attribute must be set.
