cascading replication

In a cascading replication scenario, one server, often called the

 

hub supplier, acts both as a consumer and a supplier for a

 

particular replica. It holds a read-only replica and maintains a

 

changelog. It receives updates from the supplier server that

 

holds the master copy of the data and in turn supplies those

 

updates to the consumer.

user with their DN in the directory. The certificate is stored in

programs to communicate with the HTTP server. Programs

 

written to use CGI are called CGI programs or CGI scripts and

 

can be written in many of the common programming

 

languages. CGI programs handle forms or perform output

 

parsing that is not done by the server itself.

chaining

A method for relaying requests to another server. Results for

 

the request are collected, compiled, and then returned to the

 

client.

changelog

A changelog is a record that describes the modifications that

 

have occurred on a replica. The supplier server then replays

 

these modifications on the replicas stored on replica servers or

 

on other masters, in the case of multi-master replication.
