Replication topology configuration tool

Edit online

Use the ldapreplcfg configuration tool to configure various replication topologies for IBM® Security Directory Server. This tool simplifies the process of setting up replication and reduces errors that might occur when you set up replication by using the graphical user interface or the ldif file.

Description

The ldapreplcfg tool supports configuration of replication topologies with "simple bind" and "simple bind over SSL" between the supplier and consumer. You cannot use the tool for configuring replication over SSL by using certificate based authentication.

Synopsis

ldapreplcfg [ [-C charset] [-d level] [-e] [-s] [-v] [-Z] [-? | -help] ]
      -topo topologyName [topology-specific options]

Options

-C charset
Specifies the character set name as registered with IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), which you want to use.
-d level

-e
Displays the LDAP library version information and exits.
-s

-v

-topotopologyName

Specifies one of the following replication topologies that you want to set up:

PP
Sets up a peer-to-peer replication topology.
MR
Sets up a master-replica replication topology.
MFR
Sets up a master-forwarding-replica replication topology.
GG
Sets up a gateway replication topology.
To get help for a specific topology name, enter the following command at the command line:
ldapreplcfg -topo topologyName -help
To unconfigure the replication, you must delete all the replication topology entries in the following sequence:
  1. ibm-replicationAgreement entries
  2. ibm-replicaSubentry entries that correspond to other peer server IDs
  3. ibm-replicaSubentry entry that corresponds to its own server ID
  4. ibm-replicaGroup entry
