Replication Agreement

Directory Server uses replication agreements to define how replication occurs between two servers. A replication agreement describes replication between one supplier and one consumer.

A replication agreement identifies the following:

• The suffix to replicate

• The consumer server to which the data is pushed

• The times during which replication can occur

• The bind DN and credentials that the supplier must use to bind to the consumer

• How the connection is secured, SSL or client authentication, for example

• Information about the replication status for this particular agreement

• Information about replication filtering
