  2. Configure replication security. Perform a key exchange to allow the master and the standby to run the rsync command in either direction.
  3. Adjust the master's parameters in postgresql.conf, as follows:
 wal_level = 'archive'  archive_mode = on  archive_command = 'scp %p $STANDBYNODE:$PGARCHIVE/%f' ...
