Re: Netscape D.S. -> OpenLDAP replication

[supraexpress@globaleyes.net]

Every NSDS object which contains an ACI will require an ACI attribute to
be added to the list of objectClasses in the target OpenLDAP object. You
will probably have to create a locally defined ACI attribute in a local,
auxiliary, objectClass, and then add that local objectClass to the list
of objectClasses to each OpenLDAP object that will be created by the
replication process. It has been a LONG time since I have dealt with
this. OpenLDAPACI (or whatever) can't be used as NSDS doesn't know about
it.

There is also a "copiedFrom" attribute that you will have to create as
another local attribute in an auxiliary objectClass, that has to be
present in the root object of every subtree, if I remember correctly.

Other than that, you will also have to replicate locally defined NSDS
attributes and objectClasses into your OpenLDAP schemas, and possibly
slapd.conf INDEX entries. You should then be able to perform NSDS ->
OpenLDAP replications (though there may be other "gotchas" depending on
the version of OpenLDAP that you will be using).
