Dear fellow Fedora DS users and experts,
I am working on this new project where there is a two step process. We are
currently using a poorly managed OpenLDAP server for over 3 years and
planning to migrate to Fedora DS.
Scenario: OPenLDAP=====Migrate all users and passwords===> Fedora DS
<----------PassSync------->Windows AD
Question1: Is it possible to migrate current users (around 300users) from
OpenLDAP to Fedora DS along with the UIDs, Security id and passwords. Like
everything looks same in users perspective.
It depends on the schema that is used, but this should be a case of
exporting from OpenLDAP and importing to 389.
Question2: Is is possible to create a password sync between FDS and AD for
all the above users. Yes, the username is same in both the directories.
Yes, you can sync passwords. A number of other common attributes are
synchronized as well. These attributes are listed in the Red Hat
Directory Server Administrator's Guide.
Question2.1: The users are stored with different Security
IDs in windows environment than in OpenLDAP or FDS. Will that pose a
problem?
I'm not sure what LDAP attribute you are referring to as the "Security
ID", so I can't say if this will be a problem.
Question2.2: We have several domain controllers and Active
Directory server which run in sync. Since the PassSync can only run on one
server, will it be a problem that some passwords do not get sync because the
user changed it on XP which redirected to a another server (without
PassSync)?
You need to run the PassSync service on all domain controllers. It's
the synchronization agreement that you set up on the 389 side that can
only point to one domain controller.
If any of you has gone thru these issues and anything more, please respond
to this thread or give me links.
Thanks for your help and patience.
