Hello guys,
I need to synchronize non-OpenLDAP LDAP v.2 server (RSA Keon) with OpenLDAP.
RSA Keon LDAP is master and it must be replicated to OpenLDAP slave server. Question is - will that work? I mean - is it necessary to have only OpenLDAP servers for Syncrepl to work, or consumer-side OpenLDAP server can replicate with non-OpenLDAP LDAP server?
I will be very appreciate for any ideas on how to organize such synchronization.
Thanks in advance.
BR, Dmitrij

This is a very old Umich-based LDAPv2 server.

Nope.
You have to sync it with a custom script. Be prepared to do some sanitizing of the data (e.g. certs).
Ciao, Michael.

LDAPv2 and LDAPv3 are not strictly compatible. I've never used the RSA Keon server, so I have no idea what replication or logging mechanisms it has available, but I would hope you would have a way to write out the data to an LDIF file, and then use that to feed the OpenLDAP server. I would suggest that if you have any other thoughts on this thread, that you re-direct it to the openldap-technical list, which is more orientated towards interoperability discussions.
