> # Remote Server Tab of Chained Suffix Configuration

> This tab contains the URL and authentication information your server will use to access data in this suffix on the remote, chained server.

> Remote server(s) URL. This field shows the LDAP URL of the remote server that holds the chained suffix. You may specify more than one server to provide for failover. If the first server listed does not respond, Directory Server will contact each of the others in the order given until one of them responds. The special syntax for this URL is:

> ldap://server[:port][ server[:port]].../

> Bind DN. This field shows the bind DN of an administrative user on the chained server. The local server will use this DN and its password to authenticate and perform chained requests on the suffix. This DN cannot be the directory manager on the chained server.

> Clear the bind DN and both password fields if you want to switch to anonymous binding for chained operations.

> Password. This field is the password associated with the bind DN on the chained server.

> Confirm password. If you change the chained server password, retype the password in this field for confirmation.

> Copy ACI. The text box informs you of an ACI (Access Control Instruction) that must exist at the root of the chained suffix on all remote servers listed in the LDAP URL. This ACI gives the administrative user proxy access only to the data contained within the subtree on which it is specified.

> Use the button to copy this ACI onto your system clipboard. If you are configuring the chained server through the same console, open the Advanced Properties dialog for the chained suffix, add a new value for the aci attribute and paste this ACI with the Control-V keyboard shortcut.
