There is a first version of a "Distributed Numeric Assignment" plug-in in the current Fedora Directory Server code that deals with this problem. It is designed to manage a range of unique numeric values across multiple master FDS instances. You can read more about the current implementation at http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNA_Plugin_Implementation I am currently doing some re-design and improvement to this plug-in to address some shortcomings of the current implementation. These areas are pointed out at the bottom of the above page. -NGK > > any help with either of these issues would be much appreciated. > > Regards > > Kashif > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > -- > Fedora-directory-users mailing list > Fedora-directory-users at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users > -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
