Replication Service Discovery Mechanism

A Replication Service Discovery Mechanism returns the set of directory servers participating in a replication topology.

The Replication Service Discovery Mechanism specifies the replication servers whose configuration is periodically read to discover available replicas.

Parent

The Replication Service Discovery Mechanism object inherits from Service Discovery Mechanism.

Dependencies

Replication Service Discovery Mechanisms depend on the following objects:

Basic Properties

bind-dn

SynopsisThe bind DN for periodically reading replication server configurations
DescriptionThe bind DN must be present on all replication servers and directory servers, it must be able to read the server configuration.
Default Value

None

Allowed Values

A valid DN.

bind-password

SynopsisThe clear-text bind password for periodically reading replication server configurations.
DescriptionThe bind password must be the same on all replication and directory servers.
Default Value

None

Allowed Values

A string.

bootstrap-replication-server

SynopsisThe addresses of one or more replication servers within the topology which this server should connect to in order to discover the rest of the topology.
DescriptionAddresses must be specified using the administration port of the remote replication servers using the syntax "hostname:admin-port". When using an IPv6 address as the hostname, put brackets around the address as in "[IPv6Address]:admin-port".
Default Value

None

Allowed Values

A host name or an IP address followed by a ":" and a port number.

Port number must be greater than 1 and less than 65535.

discovery-interval

SynopsisInterval between two replication server configuration discovery queries.
DescriptionSpecifies how frequently to query a replication server configuration in order to discover information about available directory server replicas.
Default Value

60s

Allowed Values

Uses Duration Syntax .

Lower limit: 1 seconds.

key-manager-provider

SynopsisSpecifies the name of the key manager that should be used with this Replication Service Discovery Mechanism.
Default Value

None

Allowed Values

The name of an existing Key Manager Provider .

The referenced key manager provider must be enabled when the Replication Service Discovery Mechanism is enabled and configured to use SASL/External certificate authentication.

Multi-valued

No

Required

No

Admin Action Required

None

Changes to this property take effect immediately, but only for subsequent attempts to access the key manager provider for associated client connections.

No

primary-group-id

SynopsisReplication domain group ID of preferred directory server replicas.
DescriptionDirectory server replicas with this replication domain group ID will be preferred over other directory server replicas. Secondary server replicas will only be used when all primary server replicas become unavailable.
Default Value

All the server replicas will be treated the same.

Allowed Values

A string.

ssl-cert-nickname

SynopsisSpecifies the nicknames (also called the aliases) of the keys or key pairs that the Replication Service Discovery Mechanism should use when performing SSL communication.
DescriptionThe property can be used multiple times (referencing different nicknames) when server certificates with different public key algorithms are used in parallel (for example, RSA, DSA, and ECC-based algorithms). When a nickname refers to an asymmetric (public/private) key pair, the nickname for the public key certificate and associated private key entry must match exactly. A single nickname is used to retrieve both the public key and the private key. This is only applicable when the Replication Service Discovery Mechanism is configured to use SSL.
Default Value

Let the server decide.

Allowed Values

A string.

Multi-valued

Yes

Required

No

Admin Action Required

The object must be disabled and re-enabled for changes to take effect.

Advanced

No

Read-Only

No

ssl-cipher-suite

SynopsisSpecifies the names of the SSL cipher suites that are allowed for use in SSL or TLS communication.
Default Value

Uses the default set of SSL cipher suites provided by the server's JVM.

Allowed Values

A string.

Multi-valued

Yes

Required

No

Admin Action Required

None

Changes to this property take effect immediately but only impact new SSL/TLS-based sessions created after the change.

ssl-protocol

SynopsisSpecifies the names of the SSL protocols that are allowed for use in SSL or TLS communication.
Default Value

Uses the default set of SSL protocols provided by the server's JVM.

Allowed Values

trust-manager-provider

SynopsisSpecifies the name of the trust manager that should be used with the Replication Service Discovery Mechanism.
Default Value

None

Allowed Values

The name of an existing Trust Manager Provider .

The referenced trust manager provider must be enabled when this Replication Service Discovery Mechanism is configured to use SSL or StartTLS.

Multi-valued

No

Required

No

Admin Action Required

None

Changes to this property take effect immediately, but only for subsequent attempts to access the trust manager provider for associated client connections.

No

use-sasl-external

SynopsisIndicates whether the Replication Service Discovery Mechanism should use certificate based authentication when communicating with backend servers.
DescriptionIf enabled, the Replication Service Discovery Mechanism will use mutual TLS when connecting to backend servers. Once the TLS handshake has completed, a SASL/External LDAP bind request will be sent in order to associate the TLS client certificate with an LDAP account on the remote backend server. A key manager provider containing the client certificate must be configured in order to use this feature.
