Latitude Communications  MeetingPlace Directory Services System Manager’s Guide
When you create the initial MetaLink agreement between the 
MeetingPlace master server and the MeetingPlace Directory 
Services master server, you use the meetingplace.cfg file, which 
has most of the parameters needed to enable this agreement 
already mapped for you. Since this agreement requires little 
modification, you should use the MeetingPlace Directory 
Services Admin Tool to configure the agreement. This agreement 
should be configured and run before creating any additional 
agreements.
Once this MetaLink agreement runs and the profiles are imported 
into the MeetingPlace Directory Services master server, you must 
create an agreement between the MeetingPlace Directory 
Services slave server and the MeetingPlace slave server. 
Next, an export (one-way) MetaLink is run from the 
MeetingPlace Directory Services master to slave server(s), and 
then deleted when the synchronization process has completed. 
Once the export (one-way) Metalink is deleted, a Changelog 
agreement is added to the MeetingPlace Directory Services slave 
server. This enables the master server to pick up any updates that 
take place on the slave server.
Finally, a two-way MetaLink synchronization agreement is added 
to the MeetingPlace Directory Services master server so the slave 
server(s) can be replicated with the master.
Once these MetaLink agreements have run and the profiles are 
imported into the appropriate MeetingPlace Directory Services 
server, you must create an agreement between the MeetingPlace 
Directory Services master server and your corporate directory 
server. 
If your corporate directory server has less than 50,000 entries, 
you should use the MeetingPlace Directory Services Admin Tool. 
If your corporate directory server has more than 50,000 entries, 
you should modify the configuration file manually to configure 
the MetaLink agreement. 
Currently, MeetingPlace Directory Services provides default 
configuration files for both Netscape LDAP and Microsoft Active 
Directory servers. These default configuration files provide some
