2.2.2.1 Disabling a suffix
Sometimes, a database may need taken down for maintenance, but the data the database contains
are not replicated. Rather than returning a referral, disable the suffix responsible for the database.

applications when they perform LDAP operations such as search, add, and modify.
To disable a suffix:
1. In the Directory Server Console, select the Configuration tab.
2. Under Data in the left navigation pane, click the suffix to disable.
3. Click the Suffix Setting tab, and deselect the Enable this suffix checkbox.
2.2.2.2 Deleting a suffix
CAUTION:
Deleting a suffix also deletes all database entries and replication information associated with that
suffix.
1. In the Directory Server Console, select the Configuration tab.
2. Under Data in the left navigation pane, select the suffix to delete.
3. Right-click the suffix and select Delete from the pop-up menu.
