HP UX Red Hat Direry Server Software manual Configuring Replication from the Command Line

Configuring Replication from the Command

NOTE

After creating a replication agreement, the connection type (SSL or non-SSL) cannot be change because LDAP and LDAPS connections use different ports. To change the connection type, re-create the replication agreement.

7. Configuring Replication from the Command Line

Replication can be configured on the command line by creating the appropriate replica and agreement entries on the servers. The process follows the same order as setting up replication through the Directory Server Console:

1.Create the supplier bind DN on every consumer, hub, and multi-master supplier (Section 3, “Creating the Supplier Bind DN Entry”).

2.If the corresponding database and suffix do not exist on one of the replicas, create it (Section 1.1, “Creating Suffixes”).

3.Configure the supplier replicas (Section 7.1, “Configuring Suppliers from the Command Line”).

4.Configure consumers (Section 7.2, “Configuring Consumers from the Command Line”).

5.Configure hubs for cascading replication (Section 7.3, “Configuring Hubs from the Command Line”).

6.Create the replication agreements (Section 7.4, “Configuring Replication Agreements from the Command Line”). For cascading replication, create the agreement between the supplier and hub, then between the hub and consumers; for multi-master, create the agreements between all suppliers, then between the suppliers and consumers.

7.Lastly, initialize all of the consumers (Section 7.5, “Initializing Consumers Online from the Command Line”), if the consumers were not initialized when the replication agreement was created.

7.1. Configuring Suppliers from the Command Line

There are two steps to setting up the supplier replica. First, the changelog must be enabled, which allows the supplier to track changes to the Directory Server. Then, the supplier replica is created.

1. On the supplier server, use ldapmodify to create the changelog1 entry.
