Replica server configuration

Replica server configuration

Security Directory Server supports one or more read-only replica LDAP servers.
Sun Java™ System Directory Server supports the existence of one or more read-only replica LDAP servers that are termed consumers. You must add lines to the [ldap] stanza that identifies any replica servers available to ISAM. Use the following syntax for each replica:
replica = ldap_server,port,type,preference

Entity Description

ldap-server The network name of the LDAP replica server.

port Port this server listens on. Generally, use 389 or 636.

type The functionality of the replica server, which is either readonly or readwrite. Normally, use read-only. A read/write type would represent a master server.

preference A number from 1 to 10. The server with the highest preference value is chosen for LDAP connections. See Preference values for replica LDAP servers.

Example:
replica = replica1.ldap.tivoli.com,389,readonly,4 replica = replica2.ldap.tivoli.com,389,readonly,4

Changes to the ldap.conf file do not take effect until you restart Security Verify Access.
