HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 administrator guide

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.
In cascading replication, referrals are automatically sent to the hub server, which in
turn refers the request to the original supplier. Therefore, set a referral to the original
supplier to replace the automatically generated referral.
4. Click Save.
Repeat these steps for every consumer server in the replication configuration, then configure the
hub replica.
8.6.3 Configuring the read-only replica on the hub
Do this to set up a hub, which receives replication updates from the supplier and propagates
them to consumers:
1. Create the database for the read-only replica if it does not exist. See “Creating suffixes” for
instructions on creating suffixes.
2. Create the entry for the supplier bind DN on the consumer server if it does not exist. The
supplier bind DN is the special entry that the supplier will use to bind to the consumer. This
is described in “Creating the supplier bind DN entry”.
3. Create the changelog for the hub server.
The hub must maintain a changelog even though it does not accept update operations
because it records the changes sent from the supplier server.
a. In the Directory Server Console, select the Configuration tab.
b. In the navigation tree, select the Replication folder.
c. In the right-hand side of the window, select the Supplier Settings tab.
