all are right:
1.) The IETF LDUP working did fail to produce a standard LDAP server server replication protocol

2.) sync repl is the nearest we have to a standard LDAP server server replication protocol. I doubt that Microsoft will ever support it though.

Thus to come back to the original question: instead of replication you need synchronization between OpenLDAP and Active Directory. And there are a lot of such solutions around.

Cheers,

Peter

Howard, 

I don't dispute the 2 implementations. 2 doesn't make a standard though, even if it's more than any other LDAP replication spec.
My main point is that RFC4533 is not a standard but describes an experimentation.

Regards,

Ludo

no, it is not possible to do what you are trying to do, not so simply.
There are solution for synch different ldap product, free and
commercial. In a very old oreilly ldap book the topic is also
discussed somehow, iirc. In effect the ietf effort to create an
multiple vendor ldap synch repl standard is failed, in retrospect, i
think.

The IETF succeeded, and RFC4533 is the result. Currently OpenLDAP and Apache
Directory support it, I'm not aware of anyone else.
I wouldn't say that IETF succeeded. RFC4533 is an experimental document and in
no way represents a consensus on how to do LDAP synchronization or replication.

Perhaps no consensus today, but the existence of two interoperable
independently developed implementations means the experiment succeeded. That's
more than any other replication spec for LDAP can claim.

Ludovic.

I any person is willing to help me and require more detail about this
problem i will reply that.

On 3/24/13, Suman Karki <sumankarki16@gmail.com
I am running open ldap server in redhat server, and active directory
in win server 2008.
I have admin access to both servers.

The thing is that i have to sync both server, like from openldap i
could access active directory data.

Can it be possible?
If possible then then please give me some information that i could
proceed this task.

I have tried some thing like using openldap admin guide

syncrepl rid=001
provider=ldap://IP of AD server/
binddn="cn=replicator,dc=suretecsystems,dc=com"
bindmethod=simple
credentials=Password of AD server
searchbase="dc=suretecsystems,dc=com"
type=refreshAndPersist
retry="5 5 300 5"



I don't how much i am right.
Or is there any different way? Please help me to solve this.
