Configuring Cascading Replication
Chapter 8 Managing Replication 309
d.
In the Common Settings section, specify a Replica ID (an integer between 1
and 254 inclusive).
You must specify the same replica ID as for the read-write replica that
supplies updates to this replica. The replica ID must be unique for a given
suffix.
e.
In the Common Settings section specify a purge delay in the Purge delay
field.
This option indicates how often the state information stored in the
replicated entries is purged.
f.
In the Replica Update Settings section, specify the supplier 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.
Automatic referrals assume that clients will bind over a regular
connection, and therefore, are of the form
ldap://
servername
:
port
. If you
want clients to bind to the supplier using SSL, you can use this field to
specify a referral of the form
ldaps://
servername
:
port
.
