The LDAP Manager

LDAP daemon types

The ``Type'' field supplies a short descriptor of the daemon, as follows:

no databases: No backend database has yet been configured for the daemon.
standalone: The daemon does not communicate with any other daemons on any other host.
master: The daemon propagates changes made to the directory to slave daemons specified by the ``replicas'' options.
slave: The daemon only receives changes to the directory from a master daemon, the slave thereby being one of the master daemon's replicas.
master/slave: The daemon is a slave, but also has slave daemons to which it propagates changes to the directory.

The LDAP Manager determines the type of a daemon as follows:

If the daemon has one or more slaves, it is a master.
If it has a value in its ``Update DN'' field, it is a slave.
If it has both of these, it is a master/slave.

The ``Port'' field indicates the number of the port with which that daemon communicates. See ``Selecting a port number''.
