HP-UX Directory Server Administrator Guide HP-UX Directory Server Version 8.1 (5900-3098, May 2013)

8.6.2 Configuring the read-only replica on the consumer server
1. Create the database for the read-only replica if it does not exist. See “Creating suffixes” (page
31) 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” (page 324).
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 for that database opens in the right-hand side of the window.
c. Check the Enable Replica checkbox.
d. In the Replica Role section, select the Dedicated Consumer radio button.
e. In the Common Settings section, specify a purge delay in the Purge delay field.
This option indicates how often the state information stored for the replicated entries is
purged.
f. In the Update Settings section, specify the bind DN that the supplier will use to bind to
the replica. Enter the supplier bind DN in the Enter a new Supplier DN field, and click
Add. The supplier bind DN appears in the Current Supplier DNs list.
The supplier bind DN should be the entry created in step 2. The supplier bind DN is a
privileged user because it is not subject to access control in the replicated database.
