I was pretty much thinking that we could store those informations in a

them in a the DIT too. Maybe storing those information sinto the ou=config
entry could be the right thing to do, assuming that the ou=config is not
replicated (we will only replicate what's under ou=config, ie, its children)


Please please please let's not fuck with this. This is the worst idea I've
heard of yet. We don't need another one off here.
That was just a suggestion, but I do agree this is more a hack than anything else. Plus after having checked the ou=config file, I don't even thinhk it's necessary.

I totally buy the fact that implementing partial replication would solve the issue.

The ou=config DIT starts with :

version: 1
dn: ou=config
ou: config
objectclass: top
objectclass: organizationalUnit

dn: ads-directoryServiceId=default,ou=config
objectclass: top
objectclass: ads-directoryService
ads-directoryserviceid: default
ads-dsreplicaid: 1
...

As we can see, each configuration is specific to a service, here "default". If we correctly name the instances so that there is no possible confusion between them, then we should be safe even if we replicate everything.

The thing we have to solve is about the instance name : how dos the server get its instance name ?

I must admit that, even if I worked on those thing in the past, it's not really fresh in my mind...
