Refresh entry control

The Refresh entry control explains its use with the server and provides the results.

Description

This control is returned to a supplier when a consumer server detects a replication conflict during a replicated modify operation. Upon receiving such a control along with an LDAP_OTHER return code, the supplier retrieves its copy of the entry and send the entry again to the consumer by using an add operation to refresh the consumer version of the entry.

Syntax

This control has no value.

Behavior

This control is registered for the following operations:

• Modify

This control is sent in an LDAP response protocol after a conflict is detected on a replicated entry on a consumer. The consumer does not require to specifically bind to the supplier to return such a control. The supplier is already bound to the consumer. If anybody sends such a control in an LDAP request to any server, the control is ignored and has no effect on the server.

The Administration Server does not support this control.

Scope

The control lasts for the term of one operation. This control is used by a consumer to communicate to its supplier when a replication conflict is detected on the consumer. When the supplier gets along the control with an LDAP_OTHER return code, the supplier sends the entry again with an intention of bringing the consumer back in sync.
