Full_Name: M.A. Haleem Asif Version: OpenLDAP Stable OS: Linux URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (196.12.45.54) Dear Sir / Madam, We are Euclid India Ltd., and we are a Networks Consulting Company. Currnetly we are involved in an A-class ISP Project here. We already have Netscape Directory Services (LDAP) running on our Windows NT (4.0) based machine. The other remote POPs have come up recently, the client wants LINUX based LDAP here (i.e) OpenLDAP. In this context, we have downloaded the OpenLDAP Stable from your web site & are trying with its installation on our LINUX base. Our primary concern is; whether Netscape LDAP on NT can communicate with OpenLDAP on linux. For this what are we supposed to do, either on NT or Linux machine. We seek your co-ordination in getting ourselves out of this anomaly. Anticipating a quick & favourable reply. Warm Regards M.A. Haleem Asif -Sr. Network Engineer- EUCLID INDIA LTD.

'Never assume' - so I would suggest trying it out. I am not clear on what you mean. Clients should very well be able to connect to OpenLDAP running under Linux. It may not be possible to have an Netscape LDAP server replicate to an OpenLDAP server. Regards, bert hubert. -- | http://www.rent-a-nerd.nl | | - U N I X - | Inspice et cautus eris - D11T'95

Replication interoperability isn't supposed to be there, but you might be lucky. The DS3.x and 4.x servers replicate by connecting to the replica as a regular client (with a magic bind DN) and then proceed to use regular LDAP update operations to make their changes to the replica. However, at some point we started adding controls to this process to do things like keep the correct modified time on the replicated entries. The openLDAP server won't understand those.
Questions are not issues.
