Requirements

Installing Oracle Internet Directory in Replicated Mode

In multimaster replication, Oracle Internet Directory instances use the Oracle Database 
Advanced Replication protocol to communicate with each other. The Select Oracle 
Internet Directory Replication Mode screen in the installer uses the term Advanced 
Replication

 to refer to multimaster replication.

The procedure for installing a master Oracle Internet Directory is the same as installing 
a "regular" (non-replicated) Oracle Internet Directory.

The procedure for installing replicas is different. When installing a replica, you must 
select the High Availability and Replication option in the Select Configuration 
Options screen, and you need to provide connect information to the master Oracle 
Internet Directory.

The Oracle Application Server instance that runs the Oracle Internet Directory (master 
or replica) can also run other Oracle Application Server components, such as the 
OracleAS Metadata Repository, OracleAS Single Sign-On, Oracle Delegated 
Administration Services, and/or Oracle Directory Integration Platform.

Check that you meet the following requirements for installing Oracle Internet 
Directory in replication mode:

■

■

Each Oracle Internet Directory, whether master or replica, needs its own OracleAS 
Metadata Repository. You can install it with a new OracleAS Metadata Repository, or 
against an existing OracleAS Metadata Repository.

If installing against an existing OracleAS Metadata Repository, you can create an 
existing OracleAS Metadata Repository in two different ways:

■

You can install it by selecting the OracleAS Metadata Repository option in the 
Select Installation Type screen.

■

You can install the OracleAS Metadata Repository in an existing database. See the 
Oracle Application Server Metadata Repository Creation Assistant User’s Guide for 
details on how to load the OracleAS Metadata Repository in an existing database.
