syncrepl: target DIT & directory server compatibility

[Asplund Marko <marko.asplund@ixonos.com>]

Hi,


I'm planning on using OpenLDAP syncrepl for replicating a DIT fragment
from Novell eDirectory using pull-based synchronisation.

If i understood correctly synchronisation requires LDAP Sync protocol
support from both the provider and the consumer sides.
Any practical experience synchronising between these two different types
of directory servers?

How do I configure the syncrepl target DIT?
For example if i have a database with suffix "dc=example,dc=com"
and locally managed entries stored in
	o=foo,dc=example,dc=com

and i'd like to synchronise a DIT from another server to
	o=bar,dc=example,dc=com

How can i configure OpenLDAP to do that?


thanks,

marko
