About the --restricted argument of the dsreplication command-line Tool

The dsreplication tool with the --restricted argument specifies a base distinguished name (DN) when multiple domains are enabled in an entry balanced environment.

When enabling replication for a server that takes part in an entry-balanced environment, the multiple domains involved are enabled at the same time. There is a global domain and a restricted domain. The restricted domain represents the entry-balancing point. Each base DN is defined in a separate local database (DB) backend. Use the dsreplication command-line interface (CLI) tool with the --restricted argument to specify which base DN is considered an entry-balancing point.
