You can use configuration expressions to set property values at startup time. For details, see Property value substitution.
bootstrap-replication-server
Synopsis |
The 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. |
Description |
Addresses must be specified using the replication port of the remote replication servers using the syntax "hostname:repl-port". When using an IPv6 address as the hostname, put brackets around the address as in "[IPv6Address]:repl-port". |
Default value |
Adding a replication server or a replication domain requires this to be filled. |
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. |

replication-purge-delay
Synopsis |
Minimum lifetime of changelog data and old replication meta-data in directory entries. Changelog data and replication meta-data older than this setting is eligible to be removed. |
Description |
After the purge delay has passed, the server removes old changelog data over time when it applies new updates. Replication meta-data is stored in changed directory entries. The server removes old replication meta-data either when the entry is next modified, or by a dedicated purge task, whichever happens first. The server temporarily stops removing old data when it has been unable to process updates for an extended period of time. For example, the server stops removing data when the server is offline, and when it cannot access other servers due to a network partition. Once old data is removed, the server can no longer use it for replication. Changelog and replication meta-data older than the purge delay must therefore be considered stale. Backups must be newer than the purge delay, including the time it takes to restore a backup. |

ssl-cert-nickname
Synopsis |
Specifies the nicknames (also called the aliases) of the keys or key pairs that the Replication Synchronization Provider should use when performing SSL communication. |
Description |
The 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 Synchronization Provider is configured to use SSL. |
Default value |
Let the server decide. |
Allowed values |
A string. |
