I think Apache DS may make a great meta-directory engine, as you have
described.  It's probably much easier to extend it to talk to different
types of data stores (think JDBC) than to extend Fedora DS using C
plug-ins.

For the specific case you described though, we did this at Netscape
several years ago with our Peoplesoft HR database, using PerLDAP.  We
would take a dump of the database, parse it with perl, and use perldap
to send the LDAP operations to the DS.  No need for an intermediate LDIF
file.  You may be able to do the same with an Apache DS solution, if it
can connect directly to SAP using JDBC or something like that.

Oh interesting. Is this perldap available?
Yes. It is included with Fedora DS. See clients/orgchart/bin/org and slapd-hostname/ns-newpwpolicy.pl for some usage.

Also, ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/directory/tools/ has some scripts we used to use at Netscape for pushing the peoplesoft data into the DS.

Could also be a starting point for a replication. Just connect to localhost ApacheDS and hand it over as in the replication.
