Configuring Cascading Replication
Chapter 8 Managing Replication 307
f.
In the Replica Update Settings section, specify the bind DN or entry DN
that the supplier will use to bind to the replica.You can now specify
multiple supplier bind DNs per replica but only one supplier DN per
replication agreement. To specify your supplier bind DN:
❍
In the Replica Update Settings section enter your supplier bind DN in the
Enter a new Supplier DN or entry DN field.
❍
Click Add. You supplier bind DN will appear in the Current Supplier DNs
or entry DNs to which the supplier’s certificate is mapped field directly
above.
❍
Repeat the operation for every supplier bind DN you want to include in
the list. Click Save when you have finished.
This supplier bind DN should correspond to the entry created in Step 2.
Note that the supplier bind DN corresponds to a privileged user, because it
is not subject to access control.
g.
Specify any supplier servers to which you want to refer updates.
By default, all updates are first referred to the supplier servers that you
specify here. If you specify none, updates are referred to the supplier
servers that have a replication agreement that includes the current replica.
In the case of cascading replication, referrals are automatically sent to the
hub supplier, which in turn refers the request to the original master.
Therefore, you should set a referral to the original master to replace the
automatically generated referral.
4.
On the supplier server, set up the replication agreement between this server
and the hub supplier.
a.
In the navigation tree on 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. This will start the Replication
Agreement Wizard.
b.
Go through the steps in the replication wizard by clicking Next to move to
the following step.
You can initialize the read-only replicas from the Replication Agreement
Wizard, or at anytime afterwards. For information on initializing read-only
replicas, refer to “Initializing Consumers,” on page 313.
5.
On the hub supplier, set up the replication agreement between this server and
the consumer.
