Re: Replication with iPlanet's Directory Server and OpenLDAP

[mark@mjwilcox.com]

While not standardized, it is possible to access IPlanet's 
information.

When replication is running it stores every update as a seperate 
changelog entry under the cn=changelog entry. You can access 
each update (they are numbered) and process it (the changes are 
stored as LDIF) and then use it to update your own LDAP server.

this would require you to write your own process but it does work. 
I've done it myself to customize replication between 2 Iplanet 
servers even using a Perl script.
