Windows synchronization agreement attributes are stored under cn=syncAgreementName,
cn=replica, cn=suffix,cn=m apping tree,cn=config.

2.3.6. Suffix Configuration Attributes under cn="suffixName"

Suffix configuration attributes are stored under the cn=suffix entry. The cn=suffix entry is an instance of
the nsMappingTree object class which inherits from the extensibleObject object class. For suffix
configuration attributes to be taken into account by the server, these object classes (in addition to the
top object class) must be present in the entry.

The suffix DN should be quoted because the suffix DN contains characters such as equals signs (=),
commas (,), and space characters that must be quoted or escaped to appear as a value in another DN.

2.3.6.1. nsslapd-state

Determines how the suffix handles operations.

backend means the backend (database) is used
to process all operations.

disabled means the database is not available for
processing operations. The server returns a "No
such search object" error in response to
requests made by client applications.

made to this suffix.

referral on update means the database is used
for all operations except update requests, which
receive a referral.

2.3.6.2. nsslapd-backend

nsslapd-state attribute is set to backend or referral on update. The value should be the name
of the backend database entry instance under cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config. For
example:

o=NetscapeRoot,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
