Configuring Cascading Replication308 Netscape Directory Server Administrator’s Guide • August 2002When you have configured the replicas on each server, and the necessaryreplication agreements between servers, you can initialize the read-only replicas onthe hub supplier, and on the consumer. You can perform this task from thereplication agreement wizard while you are configuring the supplier server andthe hub supplier server, or at any time afterwards.Configuring the Read-Only Replica on the HubSupplierPerform these steps on the hub supplier that receives replication updates from themaster, and propagates them to consumers:1. Create the database for the replica, if it does not exist.For instructions, refer to “Creating Suffixes,” on page 80.2. Create the entry corresponding to the supplier bind DN, if it does not exist.This is the special entry that the supplier will use to bind.a. In the Directory Server Console, click the Directory tab, and create anentry. For example you could use cn=Replication Manager,cn=config.b. Specify a userPassword attribute-value pair.c. If you have enabled the password expiration policy, or intend to do so inthe future, you must remember to disable it to prevent replication fromfailing due to passwords expiring. To disable the password expirationpolicy on the userPassword attribute, add the passwordExpirationTimeattribute with a value of 20380119031407Z which means that the passwordwill never expire.3. Specify the required replication settings.a. In the navigation tree on the Configuration tab, expand the Replicationnode and highlight the database to replicate.The Replica Settings tab is displayed in the right-hand side of the window.b. Check the Enable Replica checkbox.c. In the Replica Role section, select the Hub radio button.NOTE This entry must not be part of the replicated database.
