Rajesh, You are not supposed to modify anything on the consumer side. You should read more about LDAP referrals, and you will realize that it is not a surprise that the credentials needed must exist on the supplier side, since this is the server where your client is referred to when trying to modify anything on the consumer side under the replicated tree. The real question is whether your VB application can follow referrals. If not, then you have the explanation why it does not work.
