The supplier will automatically update the consumer when it contacts the consumer. The supplier attempts to contact the consumer periodically. It uses a backoff strategy that has a maximum time of 5 minutes. So at most, the consumer will be about 5 minutes behind the supplier. > > If only supplier initiated replication is supported by Fedora > Directory Server, how does the supplier know that the consumer has > come back online ? It doesn't. There is no way for the consumer to contact the supplier directly. If 5 minutes is too long, there is a way for an operator to force sending updates. You can do this using ldapmodify - modify the replication schedule in the replication agreement entry to "close the window" e.g. use something like 0000-0001 0 (i.e. replicate between midnight and 12:01 Sunday morning). Then, immediately change the schedule back to what it was (usually 0000-2359 * or "* *"). This will have the effect of forcing the supplier to send all of its updates immediately. > > Regards, > Hariharan R > > >> Hi, > >> Does the Fedora Directory Server support consumer initiated >> replication.
