Editing a subtree

 

Use this information to change the URL of the master server that this subtree and its replicas send updates to. You need do this if you change the port number or host name of the master server, or change the master to a different server.

1. Select the subtree you want to edit.

2. Click Edit subtree.

3. Enter the master server referral URL. This must be in the form of an LDAP URL, for example:

   ldap://<mynewservername>.<mylocation>.<mycompany>.com

Depending on the role being played by the server on this subtree (whether it is a master, replica or forwarding), different labels and buttons appear on the panel.

• When the subtree's role is replica, a label indicating that the server acts as a replica or forwarder is displayed along with the button Make server a master. If this button is clicked then the server which the Web administration tool is connected to becomes a master.

• When the subtree is configured for replication only by adding the auxiliary class (no default group and subentry present), then the label This subtree is not replicated is displayed along with the button Replicate subtree. If this button is clicked, the default group and the subentry is added so that the server with which the Web administration tool is connected to becomes a master.

• If no subentries for the master servers are found, the label No master server is defined for this subtree is displayed along with the button titled Make server a master. If this button is clicked, the missing subentry is added so that the server with which the Web administration tool is connected to becomes a master.
