Thanks for the response. So after step 1 here's my output: dn: cn="Replication to host2.xyz.com",cn=replica,cn="dc=xyz,dc=com",cn=mapping tree,cn=config cn: "Replication to host2.xyz.com" cn: Replication to host2.xyz.com So how would step 2 look on the command-line? Here's what I started with: ldapmodify -D "cn=directory manager" -w password -b n="Replication to host2.xyz.com",cn=replica,cn="dc=xyz,dc=com",cn=mapping tree,cn=config but where do I specify the rest of these attributes: changetype: modify replace: nsds5BeginReplicaRefresh nsds5BeginReplicaRefresh: start Thanks, Jim --- Richard Megginson <rmeggins at redhat.com> wrote: > Mike Jackson wrote: > > jamsda wrote: > >> Ok, so I'm guessing this is what happens behind > the > >> scenes (remove/re-create) when I do an > "initialize > >> consumer" from the GUI right? > > > > It is, for all intents and purposes, the > functional equivalent. > Not exactly.
