same read-write replicas to replica servers. In a single-master replication scenario, the supplier
server maintains a changelog.
SIR See supplier-initiated replication.
slapd LDAP Directory Server daemon or service that is responsible for most functions of a directory
except replication.
See also ns-slapd.
SNMP Used to monitor and manage application processes running on the servers by exchanging data
