It sounds like the FDS chaining backend is similar to OpenLDAP back-ldap and/or the chaining overlay. In OpenLDAP back-ldap forwards a request to one other server (at a time; multiple servers can be configured but the others will only be used if the first server cannot be contacted). The back-meta backend is a superset of back-ldap, it can fanout single requests to multiple servers in parallel and aggregate the results. (There's also attribute mapping and DN rewriting, but those capabilities are no longer unique to back-meta, having been moved into the rewrite overlay.) With these modules you can stitch together a variety of heterogeneous directories into a coherent virtual directory. >> Regards!! >> Sergio >> >> >> >> On Mon, 2006-10-02 at 07:25 -0600, Richard Megginson wrote: >>> Sergio Diaz wrote: >>>> Hi People, >>>> >>>> Its Possible Sync only in One Way ? >>>> >>>> Users Windows AD -> FDS. >>> No, not really. >>>> Or the other scenario its like OpenLDAP have a Meta Backend (2 LDAPs, >>>> 1 AD), its possible with FDS ? >>> It's possible.
