Setting up the Replication Agreements
265
NOTE
There can be multiple supplier bind DNs per consumer but only one supplier DN
per replication agreement.
g. Specify the URL for any supplier servers to which to refer updates.
By default, all updates are first referred to the supplier servers that are specified here. If no
suppliers are set here, updates are referred to the supplier servers that have a replication
agreement that includes the current replica.
Automatic referrals assume that clients bind over a regular connection; this has a URL in the
form
ldap://
hostname
:
port
. For clients to bind to the supplier using SSL, use this field to
specify a referral of the form
ldaps://
hostname
:
port
, where the
s
in
ldaps
indicates a
secure connection.
5. Click

When all the hubs are configured, then configure the supplier replica.
8.6.4. Setting up the Replication Agreements
Cascading replication requires two sets of replication agreements, the first between the supplier and
the hub and the second between the hub and the consumer. To set up the replication agreements, do
the following:
1. Create the replication agreement on the supplier for the hub, then use the supplier server to
initialize the replica on the hub server.
2. Then create the replication agreement on the hub for each consumer, and initialize the consumer
replicas from the hub.
To set up a replication agreement, do the following:
1. In the navigation tree of 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 to start the
Replication Agreement Wizard
.
2. In the first screen, fill in a name and description for the replication agreement, and hit
Next
.
3. In the
Source and Destination
screen, fill in the URL for the consumer and the supplier bind
DN and password on that consumer. If the target server is not available, hit in other to fill in the
information manually.
