Configuring Multi-Master Replication
Chapter 8 Managing Replication 303
f.
Set the change log parameters (number and age).
You must clear the unlimited checkboxes if you want to specify different
values.
g.
Click Save to save the supplier settings.
2.
Create the entry corresponding to the supplier bind DN, if it does not exist. For
multi-master replication, it is necessary to create this supplier bind DN on the
supplier servers (as well as the consumers), because they act as both consumer
and supplier to the other supplier servers.
a.
In the Directory Server Console, click the Directory tab, and create an
entry. For example you could use
cn=Replication Manager,cn=config
.
b.
Specify a
userPassword
attribute-value pair.
c.
If you have enabled the password expiration policy, or intend to do so in
the future, you must remember to disable it to prevent replication from
failing due to passwords expiring. To disable the password expiration
policy on the
userPassword
attribute, add the
passwordExpirationTime
attribute with a value of 20380119031407Z which means that the password
will never expire.
3.
On Server A and Server B, specify the replication settings for the
multi-mastered read-write replica.
a.
In the navigation tree on the Configuration tab, expand the Replication
node and highlight the database to replicate.
The Replica Settings tab is displayed in the right-hand side of the window.
b.
Check the Enable Replica checkbox.
c.
In the Replica Role section, select the Multiple Master radio button.
d.
In the Common Settings section, specify a Replica ID (an integer between 1
and 254 inclusive).
The replica ID must be unique for a given suffix. Make sure you specify an
ID that is different from the IDs used for read-write replicas on this server
and on other servers.
NOTE This entry must not be part of the replicated database.
