+# Geo-Location Scaling (Replication)
+
+SSO Manager is built to be a self-contained identity provider, but if you have multiple physical sites, you may want a local copy of the directory at each site to ensure low latency and high availability.
+
+## Why and when to use this?
+- **High Availability (HA)**: If your primary site goes completely offline, your other sites can still authenticate users locally without depending on a WAN link.
+- **Low Latency**: Applications at a remote site can bind directly to their local LDAP server (`localhost` or LAN IP) instead of traversing the internet to query the primary site, making logins blazing fast.
+- **Independent Failure Domains**: By replicating only the LDAP directory (the source of truth) and keeping session state (Redis) independent, you prevent complex "split-brain" scenarios in the web UI. A failure at Site A won't bring down Site B.
+
+By default, the `sso-manager` Docker container runs a single, independent OpenLDAP instance. However, you can enable **N-Way Multi-Master Replication** via environment variables.
+
+## How it works
+
+In an N-Way Multi-Master setup, every site runs a fully active OpenLDAP server (`slapd`).
+- **Reads and Writes anywhere**: A user can change their password or update their profile at Site A, Site B, or Site C.
+- **Conflict Resolution**: OpenLDAP's `syncrepl` engine uses Context Sequence Numbers (CSN) to track changes. If Site A goes offline and a user changes their password at Site B, Site A will automatically pull the newest changes the moment it rejoins the cluster.
+- **Independent Redis**: Session data, API Tokens, and OAuth Clients are stored in Redis. By design, Redis is NOT replicated in this geographic setup. This ensures that a failure at Site A never causes Site B's Redis to become read-only, which would break the web UI at Site B. OAuth clients must be configured per-site.
+
+## Configuration
+
+To enable replication, you must pass two environment variables to the `sso-manager` container:
+
+1. `LDAP_SERVER_ID`: A unique integer for this node (e.g., `1`, `2`, `3`). This MUST be unique across the cluster.
+2. `LDAP_REPLICATION_HOSTS`: A space-separated list of the LDAP URLs of all **other** nodes in the cluster.
+
+### Example using `theta-env` / Docker Compose
+
+**Site 1 (`setup.env` or `docker-compose.yml`)**
+```env
+LDAP_SERVER_ID=1
+LDAP_REPLICATION_HOSTS="ldaps://sso.site2.com:636 ldaps://sso.site3.com:636"
+```
+
+**Site 2 (`setup.env` or `docker-compose.yml`)**
+```env
+LDAP_SERVER_ID=2
+LDAP_REPLICATION_HOSTS="ldaps://sso.site1.com:636 ldaps://sso.site3.com:636"
+```
+
+**Site 3 (`setup.env` or `docker-compose.yml`)**
+```env
+LDAP_SERVER_ID=3
+LDAP_REPLICATION_HOSTS="ldaps://sso.site1.com:636 ldaps://sso.site2.com:636"
+```
+
+Once configured, the container's entrypoint will automatically load the `syncprov` module, enable `mirrormode`, and generate the necessary `syncrepl` blocks in `/etc/openldap/slapd.conf`.
+
+## User Locations
+
+When creating or editing a user, you can specify their **Location (Site)**. This maps directly to the standard LDAP `l` (localityName) attribute, allowing you to track which physical site a user belongs to natively within the directory.
