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

An internal Directory Server housekeeping operation periodically removes tombstone entries
which are older than the value of this attribute (in seconds). State information which is older
than the nsDS5ReplicaPurgeDelay value is removed when an entry which contains the the
state information is modified.
Not every tombstone and state information may be removed because, with multi-master
replication, the server may need to keep a small number of the latest updates to prime replication,
even if they are older than the value of the attribute.
This attribute specifies the interval, in seconds, to perform internal purge operations on an entry.
When setting this attribute, ensure that the purge delay is longer than the longest replication
cycle in the replication policy to preserve enough information to resolve replication conflicts and
to prevent the copies of data stored in different servers from diverging..

2.3.7.8 nsDS5ReplicaReferral
This multi-valued attribute specifies the user-defined referrals. This should only be defined on
a consumer. User referrals are only returned when a client attempts to modify data on a read-only
consumer. This optional referral overrides the referral that is automatically configured by the
consumer by the replication protocol.

2.3.7.9 nsDS5ReplicaRoot
This attribute sets the DN at the root of a replicated area. This attribute must have the same value
as the suffix of the database being replicated and cannot be modified.
