You can use the instructions provided here to add a subtree.

About this task

Note: The server must be running to perform this task.

Expand the Replication management category in the navigation area and click Manage topology.

  • Click Add subtree.
  • Enter the DN of the subtree that you want to replicate or click Browse to expand the entries to select the entry that is to be the root of the subtree.
  • Enter the master server referral URL in the form of an LDAP URL, for example:
    For non-SSL: 
    ldap://<myservername>.<mylocation>.<mycompany>.com:<port>
    For SSL: 
    ldaps://<myservername>.<mylocation>.<mycompany>.com:<port>
    The default URL is ldap://localhost:389
    Note: The master server referral URL is optional. It is used only:
    • If the server contains (or will contain) any read-only subtrees.
    • To define a referral URL that is returned for updates to any read-only subtree on the server.
  • Click OK.
  • The new server is displayed on the Manage topology panel under the heading Replicated subtrees.
Note: On Linux™ operating systems, if a client hangs while chasing referrals, ensure that the environment variable LDAP_LOCK_REC has been set in your system environment. No specific value is required. 
set LDAP_LOCK_REC=anyvalue
