LDAP has concept of referrer which is sort of redirection. If client
tries to modify replica, replica refuses and provides location where it
is possible to complete modification request.

Most clients do not understand referrers but 389 console does. Try
ldapmodify from command line you will see that it will fail.

You can disable this on your replica. Check referrals tab in
configuration suffix configuration.
