5.6 Setting Up and Managing Filtered Replicas
Filtered replicas maintain a filtered subset of information from an eDirectory partition (objects or
object classes along with a filtered set of attributes and values for those objects).
Administrators generally use the filtered replica capability to create an eDirectory server that holds a
set of filtered replicas that contain only specific objects and attributes that they want synchronized.
To do this, iManager provides tools to create a filtered replica partition scope and filter. A scope is
simply the set of partitions where you want replicas placed on a server; a replication filter contains
the set of eDirectory classes and attributes you want to host on a server's set of filtered replicas. The
result is an eDirectory server that can house a well-defined data set from many partitions in the tree.
The descriptions of the server’s partition scope and replication filters are stored in eDirectory, and
they can be managed through the Server object or the Partition and Replicas role in iManager.

Replica Type
Description
Master
Users can both read and modify the contents of this replica, and the
replica is the starting point for any future partitioning activity that affects
this partition, such as creating or merging a subpartition. Only one
master replica is allowed per partition.
Read-Write
Users can both read and modify the contents of the new replica. Select
this option if there are no modifiable replicas close enough to the users
who manage the eDirectory objects in this partition.
Read-Only
Users can read but not modify the contents of the new replica. Select
this option if there are no replicas close enough to the users who read
but don’t modify the eDirectory objects in this partition.
Filtered Read-Write Users can both read and modify the contents of the new replica, and
the contents are limited to the types of eDirectory objects and
properties specified in a filter.
Filtered Read-Only Users can read but not modify the contents of the new replica, and the
contents are limited to the types of eDirectory objects and properties
specified in a filter.
