Supplier Servers

The purge delay is how often the state information stored in the replicated entries is deleted.

g.In the Update Settings section, specify the bind DN that the supplier will use to bind to the replica. Enter the supplier bind DN in the Enter a new Supplier DN field, and click Add. The supplier bind DN appears in the Current Supplier DNs list.

The supplier bind DN should be the entry created in step 2. The supplier bind DN is a privileged user because it is not subject to access control in the replicated database.

NOTE

There can be multiple supplier bind DNs per consumer but only one supplier DN per replication agreement.

h.Specify the URL for any supplier servers to which to refer updates, such as the other suppliers in the multi-master replication set. Only specify the URL for the supplier server.

For clients to bind using SSL, specify a URL beginning with ldaps://.

i.Click Save.

5.2.Configuring the Read-Only Replicas on the Consumer Servers

First, configure every consumer.

1.Create the database for the read-only replica if it does not exist. See Section 1.1, “Creating Suffixes” for instructions on creating suffixes.

2.Create the entry for the supplier bind DN on the consumer server if it does not exist. The supplier bind DN is the special entry that the supplier will use to bind to the consumer. This is described in Section 3, “Creating the Supplier Bind DN Entry”.

3.Specify the replication settings required for a read-only replica.

a.In the Directory Server Console, select the Configuration tab.

b.In the navigation tree, expand the Replication folder, and highlight the replica database. The Replica Settings tab for that database opens in the right-hand side of the window.
