> # Settings Tab of Chained Suffix Configuration

> This tab contains general settings for controlling how the server will respond to requests on this chained suffix.

> Enable access to this suffix. This checkbox is selected by default, meaning that this suffix is online and may be queried. Deselect this checkbox to take this suffix offline and make its contents unavailable through this server.

> If you have a global referral defined on the Network tab of the top-level Configuration node, that referral will be returned when clients attempt to access an offline suffix.

> Process write and read requests. This radio button is selected by default and implies that the server will forward both read and write requests to the chained server.

> Process read requests and return a referral for write requests. Select this radio button if you wish to forward only read requests to the chained server. Enter one or more LDAP URLs below to be returned as referrals for write requests.

> Return a referral for both read and write requests. Select this radio button if you wish to return one or more referrals for any requests on this suffix. This behavior is similar to disabling access to the suffix, except that the referrals may be defined specifically for this suffix instead of using the global referral.

> Referrals to return. This box lists all of the LDAP URLs that will be returned if referrals have been selected for write or read-write requests on this suffix. All referrals listed here will be returned together.

> Add. Click this button to construct an LDAP URL to add to the list of referrals to return. The pop-up dialog for constructing an LDAP URL has fields for entering the host and port of the remote directory server, and the target DN of a corresponding suffix in that directory.

> Delete. Select one of the LDAP URLs and click this button to remove it from the list of referrals that will be returned.
