Hi Richard;
Openldap:
The *meta* backend to *slapd(8)
<http://docsrv.caldera.com:8457/cgi-bin/man?mansearchword=slapd&mansection=8>*
performs basic LDAP proxying with respect
to a set of remote LDAP servers, called "targets". The information
contained in these servers can be presented as belonging to a single
Directory Information Tree (DIT).
Its possible with FDS ??
FDS has a chaining backend which allows you to use another LDAP server
to store the data.
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

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. What does the meta backend do?
Regards,
Sergio
