and all other servers in the replication environment that will function as consumers for the schema
information.
NOTE:
Special replication agreements are not required to replicate the schema. If replication has been
configured between a supplier and a consumer, schema replication occurs by default.
Changes made to custom schema files are only replicated if the schema is updated using LDAP
or the Directory Server Console. These custom schema files should be copied to each server in
order to maintain the information in the same schema file on all servers. For more information,
see “Creating custom schema files”.
For more information on schema design, see Chapter 3 “Designing the directory schema”.
6.4.5 Replication and synchronization
In order to propagate synchronized Windows entries throughout the Directory Server, use
synchronization within a multi-master environment. Synchronization agreement should be kept
to the lowest amount possible, preferably one per deployment. Multi-master replication allows
the Windows information to be available throughout the network, while limiting the data access
point to a single Directory Server.
