Table 8.2. Replica Attributes
7.2. Configuring Consumers from the Command Line
On the consumer host, such as consumer1.example.com, create the replica entry. This entry
identifies the database and suffix as participating in replication and sets what kind of replica the
database is. There are four key attributes:
• nsds5replicaroot sets the subtree (suffix) which is being replicated.
• nsds5replicatype sets what kind of replica this database is. For a consumer, this value must
be 2.
• nsds5ReplicaBindDN give the DN as which the supplier will bind to the consumer to make
changes.
• nsds5flags sets whether the replica writes to the changelog. For a consumer, this value must
be 0.
This ldapmodify creates a new consumer replica on the consumer1.example.com host for the
dc=example,dc=com subtree.
