Re: OpenLDAP as a slave of Fedora Directory Server?

Rats. That's pretty much the conclusion I'd reached, but I'd hoped I was wrong, based on the wiki page. Unfortunately, for account terminations, we need more than just the ldif export/import, and Security is kind of cranky about the lack.

Thanks for the answer. I guess I'll cross my fingers that somebody takes it off of the wishlist soon.

Currently, OpenLDAP and 389 have totally different replication mechanisms, so you can't really replicate between the two. You can of course export / import filtered LDIF in either direction, which, depending on the need, is occasionally good enough.

I've been through the FDS/389 website, and the best I've come up with is this: http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:OpenldapIntegration

Unfortunately, that gives me the sync in the wrong direction. We have pre-existing OpenLDAP servers that belong to a different group. We're supposed to be their ultimate source of data - once we get set up - but they won't change their servers from OpenLDAP because, as they say, they know how they work and why should they do more work.

I don't need data synced back from OpenLDAP, but syncrepl doesn't appear to do the right thing when pointed at an FDS directory server, so what's the secret, undocumented method? Even a hint would help. Google just keeps turning up pages where people have named their box "Fedora" and it's all openldap to openldap.
