NOTE
Configuring Single-Master Replication
This section provides information on configuring single-master replication. The
steps described in this section provide a high level overview of the procedure you
need to follow. Cross-references to the detailed task descriptions are provided at
each step.
To set up single-master replication such as the configuration shown in Figure 8-1
on page 291, between supplier Server A that holds a read-write replica, and the two
consumers Server B and Server C that each hold a read-only replica, you need to
perform the following procedures:
• Configuring the Read-Only Replica on the Consumer Server
• Configuring the Read-Write Replica on the Supplier Server
• Initializing the Replicas for Single-Master Replication

Once you create a replication agreement, you cannot change the
connection type (SSL or nonSSL) defined in the agreement; this is
because LDAP and LDAPS connections use different ports. To
change the connection type, you should re-create the replication
agreement.
