Setting up the Replication Agreements

NOTE

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

g.Specify the URL for any supplier servers to which to refer updates.

By default, all updates are first referred to the supplier servers that are specified here. If no suppliers are set here, updates are referred to the supplier servers that have a replication agreement that includes the current replica.

Automatic referrals assume that clients bind over a regular connection; this has a URL in the form ldap://hostname:port. For clients to bind to the supplier using SSL, use this field to specify a referral of the form ldaps://hostname:port, where the s in ldaps indicates a secure connection.

4.Click Save.

Repeat these steps for every consumer server in the replication configuration.

5.3. Setting up the Replication Agreements

First set up replication agreements on a single supplier, the data master, between the other multi-master suppliers, and initialize all of the other suppliers.

Then create replication agreements for all other suppliers in the multi-master replication set, but do not reinitialize any of the suppliers.

Then create replication agreements for all of the consumers from the single data master, and initialize the consumers.

Then create replication agreements for all of the consumers from for all of the other suppliers, but do not reinitialize any of the consumers.

1.In the navigation tree of the Configuration tab, right-click the database to replicate, and select New Replication Agreement.

Alternatively, highlight the database, and select New Replication Agreement from the Object menu to start the Replication Agreement Wizard.

2.In the first screen, fill in a name and description for the replication agreement, and hit Next.

3.In the Source and Destination screen, fill in the URL for the consumer and the supplier bind DN and password on that consumer. If the target server is not available, hit in other to fill in the information manually.
