I'm in the midst of setting up a DS replica using SSL and find myself a bit confused on the purpose of the User DS and Configuration DS tabs in the Administration Server Configuration. Could someone point me to some documentation on them? What do they represent? I am guessing the Configuration DS is how we connect to the portion of the tree holding configuration (o=NetscapeRoot?). When the LDAP server is part of another administrative domain, should this point to the local LDAP server or to the LDAP server which manages the administrative domain? I am also guessing the User DS is that portion of the tree holding the user directory, i.e., most of the directory. In the case of a read-only replica, should this point to the read/write master?
