Occasionally, applications want to read back the data that they just wrote.
If a modification requested to a shadow server was silently chained to its
producer, an immediate read could result in receiving data not yet sync'ed.

In those cases, clients should use the {{B:dontusecopy}} control to ensure
they are directed to the authoritative source for that piece of data.

H3: Overview
This overlay implements the provider-side support for syncrepl
replication, including persistent search functionality
This overlay implements the provider-side support for the LDAP Content Synchronization
({{REF:RFC4533}}) as well as syncrepl replication support, including persistent search functionality.
H3: Sync Provider Configuration
There is very little configuration needed for this overlay, in fact for many situations merely loading
the overlay will suffice.
However, because the overlay creates a contextCSN attribute in the root entry of the database which is
updated for every write operation performed against the database and only updated in memory, it is
recommended to configure a checkpoint so that the contextCSN is written into the underlying database to
minimize recovery time after an unclean shutdown:
> overlay syncprov
> syncprov-checkpoint 100 10
For every 100 operations or 10 minutes, which ever is sooner, the contextCSN will be checkpointed.
The four configuration directives available are {{B:syncprov-checkpoint}}, {{B:syncprov-sessionlog}},
{{B:syncprov-nopresent}} and {{B:syncprov-reloadhint}} which are covered in the man page discussing
various other scenarios where this overlay can be used.
