Adding an eDirectory server replica
Using eDirectory Agent | Web Protection Solutions | v8.4.x, v8.5.x | 29-Apr-2022
One instance of the eDirectory Agent can support one Novell eDirectory master, plus any number of Novell eDirectory replicas running on separate machines.
eDirectory Agent must be able to communicate with each machine running a replica of the directory service. This ensures that the agent gets the latest logon information as quickly as possible, and does not wait for eDirectory replication to occur.
Novell eDirectory replicates the attribute that uniquely identifies logged-on users only every 5 minutes. Despite this replication time lag, eDirectory Agent picks up new logon sessions as soon as a user logs on to any eDirectory replica.
To configure eDirectory Agent installation to communicate with eDirectory:
1.
In the Add eDirectory replica screen, enter the Server IP address or name for eDirectory Server (master or replica).
2.
Enter the Port that eDirectory Agent uses to communicate with the eDirectory machine. The valid values are 389 (standard port) and 636 (SSL port).
3.
Click OK to return to the eDirectory Agent page. The new entry appears in the eDirectory Replicas list.
4.
Repeat the process for any additional eDirectory server machines.
5.
Click OK to cache changes, and then click Save and Deploy.
6.
Stop and start eDirectory Agent so that the agent can begin communicating with the new replica.
