Die dahinterstehenden Entscheidungen verstehen.
Identify the systems that query the directory.
Mark the source of replicated data.
Show each regional replica.
Label the client transport and replication mechanism.

Häufige Fragen
What is an LDAP provider?
In a provider-consumer replication setup, the provider is the server that supplies directory changes to consumer replicas.
What is syncrepl?
Syncrepl is OpenLDAP's replication mechanism for synchronizing directory entries between servers.

They can when the architecture supports it, but the choice depends on consistency needs, routing and the directory's configured read and write paths.
