Add
menu option sequence. This displays a dialog prompting for the host name of
the replica, the DN to be used to bind to the replica, and an
associated password.
The ``Replicas'' field is used to set up a daemon as a master server to
slave (replica) directories. Enter the slave identifiers using the
Replicas Add
menu option sequence. This displays a dialog prompting for the host name of
the replica, the DN to be used to bind to the replica, and an
associated password.
Note that the ``Bind DN'' value of the master must match the ``Update DN'' value of the slave. See ``General backend options'' for more details.
To subsequently delete a replica from a daemon, select the replica
from the list, then select the
Replicas Delete
option.
The ``Replica log file'' specifies the pathname of a file used by slapd to record changes. If the specified file is empty, then a default replication log file is used instead: see details of the replogfile option in ``General backend options''. See also ``Replication logs''.
The ``Update DN'' field is used to specify the DN used to update a slave directory. Giving an entry in this field will turn the directory into a slave. See ``LDAP daemon types'' for more details of daemon types.
