8.7.2. 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.

Description
Sets whether the replica writes
to the changelog.
Sets the period of time in
seconds to wait before purging
the state information from an
entry or purging tombstone
entries. This setting is required
for all types of replicas —
supliers, hubs, and consumers.
The supplier bind DN used
by the supplier to bind to the
consumer. This is required for
consumers, hubs, and multi-
master suppliers, but not for
single-master suppliers.
Optional. An LDAP URL which
a consumer or hub to which a
consumer or hub can forward
update requests. By default,
update requests are sent to the
masters for the consumer; use
this parameter to override the
default.
Values
0 means the replica does not
write to the changelog; this is
the default for consumers.
1 means the relics writes to the
changelog; this is the default for
hubs and suppliers.
0 (keep forever) to
2147483647 (the maximum
32-bit integer); the default value
is 604800, one week.
Any DN; the recommended
DN is cn=Replication
Manager,cn=config.
NOTE
For security,
it is strongly
recommended that
you do not use the
Directory Manager
as the supplier bind
DN.
Any LDAP URL. For example:
nsds5replicareferral:
ldap://
supplier1.example.com:389
.
