I'm new to the 389/RedHat Directory Server world (have had many years experience with other directory server products). I've looked through the documentation and did not see any directions on demoting a supplier to a dedicated consumer. I tried to demote through the console first by moving the supplier to a hub and then to a dedicated consumer. I thought all was well until I restarted the instance. Now I'm seeing the following messages in the errors log:<br>

<br>Any thoughts how I can enable replication from the remaining suppliers to this instance?<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Frank Fossa<br><br>
