Hi,
I didn't mean "urgent" and "expecting a reply" as a demanding request. However I would like a voluntary reply at the earliest so that I can go ahead with my work. Sorry for a demanding request, however would like your support and reply in current and future issues.
Thanks and Regards, Santosh Balan _+91-9819419509

This is not possible just by OpenLDAP and AD server configuration. You need a custom sync process for that. There might be already some implementations available but most times they won't fit exactly your requirements. So I'd recommend to write your own custom script to do it.
Also a user incase AD is not available gets authenticated using
LDAP
and vice-a-versa.
Authenticated at which client component?
E.g. it does not make sense to authenticate the user during Windows logon directly against the OpenLDAP user account since there's a bit more done during a Windows domain logon.
Your urgent help on this issue will be highly appreciated.
Expecting a
reply from you at the earliest.
Well, "urgent" and "expecting a reply" is a little bit demanding on a mailing list where volunteers are answering in their spare time. You might wanna hire a consultancy company: http://www.openldap.org/support/
