The Replication Editor is Info Ready.
The Replication Editor is designed to simplify the task of creating and modifying replicas for either backup or load sharing. The editor currently provides a skeleton set of features to support OpenLDAP's olcSyncrepl attribute. Future releases will extend both the feature set and the attributes from other LDAP server implementations.
