Use this option 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, change
the master to a different server. You can use the instructions provided
here to know in detail about this.
Procedure
- Select the subtree you want to edit.
- Expand the Select Action menu, select Edit subtree and
click Go.
- Enter the master server referral URL. This must be in the
form of an LDAP URL, for example:
ldap://<mynewservername>.<mylocation>.<mycompany>.com:<port>
- 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.
