The bindery context for a server can be set to a container that is part of a partition stored on a different server. But, before you can use bindery services, you must place a writable replica of the partition that includes the bindery context on the bindery services-enabled server.
If you set the bindery context for a server to a container object that is not part of a writable replica on that server, users will not be able to log in via bindery services.
