> # Merge Configuration Directory Server Information

> Use this dialog to merge configuration data of the selected server group into the topology defined by another configuration server. For example, you can use this dialog on a standalone server group initially installed for evaluation or testing, and the group will be inserted into your existing topology of production servers.

> Make sure to back up the destination configuration directory before merging any new information into it.

> Destination Domain. Enter the name of the administration domain in into which you wish to merge the selected server group, for example example.com or Example Corporation. If the server hosting the current configuration directory is not already listed in the destination configuration, it will be added to this domain.

> Destination LDAP Host. Enter the hostname of the server containing the destination configuration directory, for example east.example.com.

> Destination LDAP Port. Enter the port number for the directory server on the host entered above, for example 389.

> Secure Connection. Check this box if the destination server uses the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol on the port specified above. Make sure that SSL is enabled on the destination server before selecting this option.

> Destination LDAP Bind DN. Enter the distinguished name for a user who has read and write access to the configuration on the destination server, by default uid=admin,ou=Administrators,ou=TopologyManagement,o=NetscapeRoot.

> Destination LDAP Bind Password. Enter the password for the user specified in the previous field.

> After you merge this server group into the destination topology, the server instances it contains will use the destination directory you specified. If you want the instances to switch back to the original configuration directory, you must manually modify their configuration.
