Configuring Single-Master Replication
Chapter 8
Managing Replication
321
To set up single-master replication such as the configuration shown in Figure 8-1,
on page 307, between supplier Server A, which holds a read-write replica, and the
two consumers Server B and Server C, which each hold a read-only replica, you
need to perform the following procedures:
• Configuring the Read-Only Replica on the Consumer Server
• Configuring the Read-Write Replica on the Supplier Server
• Initializing the Replicas for Single-Master Replication
Configuring the Read-Only Replica on the Consumer
Server
1.
Create the database for the read-only replica if it does not exist.
For instructions, refer to “Creating Suffixes,” on page 80.
2.
Create the entry corresponding to the supplier bind DN on the consumer
server if it does not exist. This is the special entry that the supplier will use to
bind to the consumer.
a.
In the Directory Server Console, select 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
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.
Specify the replication settings required for a read-only replica.
a.
In the Directory Server Console, select the Configuration tab.
b.
In the navigation tree, expand the Replication folder, and highlight the
replica database.
The Replica Settings tab is displayed in the right-hand side of the window.
NOTE
This entry must not be part of the replicated database.
