Source and Destination

Use this dialog box to identify the consumer to which you will replicate directory entries. In addition, this dialog box allows you to define whether or not SSL is used for the connection, and the content you want replicated.

Supplier. This field contains a static display of the name and port number of the supplier server in this agreement.

Consumer. Select the consumer server in the replication agreement from this drop-down menu. To ensure that all servers in your deployment appear in this drop-down menu, you must bind as Administrator. If the consumer server you want still does not appear in the list, click Other to enter the host and port of the consumer.

Other. Click this button to manually enter the host and port of a consumer server

Using Encrypted SSL Connection. If you want the supplier and consumer servers to use SSL for secure communication, select this checkbox. To use this option, you must have first configured your servers to use SSL.

SSL Client Authentication. Select this option if you want the supplier and consumer servers to use certificates for secure communication. You cannot use SSL client authentication unless the "Using Encrypted SSL Connection" checkbox is selected. The "Bind As" and Password fields are unavailable with this option because the servers will use security certificates to authenticate to each other.

To use this option, you must first do the following:

Simple Authentication. Select this option if you want the supplier and consumer servers to use simple authentication during communication. If you select the "Using Encrypted SSL Connection" checkbox and you specify this option, the simple authentication will take place over a secure channel but without certificates.

Bind As. If you are not using SSL, or you are using SSL with simple authentication, enter the supplier bind DN defined on the consumer server in the Bind As text box.

Password. If you are not using SSL, or you are using SSL with simple authentication, enter the Supplier DN password in the Password field.

Subtree. Identifies the content to be replicated.

When you are creating a new replication agreement from the Replication folder, you can choose the subtree you want to replicate. If you are creating a new replication agreement from a database under the Replication folder, the subtree is the same as that contained by the database and cannot be changed.
