Right now, we have 4 Windows servers: 2 Domain controllers (1 of which is serving as the Terminal Server License server), 1 general purpose workstation for users to Remote Desktop into, and 1 server that runs Citrix Presentation server. We also have 2 linux servers that we connect to that we have configured to contact our domain controller for authentication. We really aren't using most of the features that AD has/provides. Just basic user authentication, which is why we thought we could easily move to 389 DS. If we do, we figured that we could keep the Citrix server around and have it contact the new DS server for authentication. Maybe keep the 1 domain controller as a member server that still does the license services. We're not opposed to scrapping AD though. If we have to migrate over users manually, or via an ldif file that we script/create, we can do that. Right now, we're just trying to get familiar with the features of 389 DS.

You'll have to do some scripting to get the data in the right format, and a lot of trial and error. I don't know if there are AD to LDAP migration scripts out there. Also, you can't just replace AD with 389 if you need to support a Windows network. AD does a lot more than just an LDAP server. > > Thanks! > Harry > > Harry Devine > Common ARTS Software Development > AJT-144 > (609)485-4218 > Harry.Devine at faa.gov > > > From: Rich Megginson <rmeggins at redhat.com> > > To: "General discussion list for the 389 Directory server project." > <389-users at lists.fedoraproject.org> > Cc: 389-users-bounces at lists.fedoraproject.org > Date: 10/25/2010 10:25 AM > Subject: Re: Getting started with 389 DS > Sent by: 389-users-bounces at lists.fedoraproject.org > > > > > harry.devine at faa.gov wrote: > > > > Just a follow up: I was able to log in.
