Hi,

I have a Win 2k3 SBS and I want to replicate the users into my OpenLDAP 2.4.11. When I start slapd, I can see that one entry of a user is being sent, but after that I get the message "got search entry without Sync State control".

I had hoped that replication not only works with OpenLDAP as a master, but also with Active Directory. Is it possible to get this to work?

When AD will implement RFC 4533, I guess that will work. or you will need to add some glue on top of AD.

A quick googling tells you that it's on Howard Chu Todo list for 2007... But he is a busy guy !

This is not possible. You could however implement your own sync process in your favourite scripting/programming language.

Actually we (Symas) have done some preliminary work on this already; the Microsoft DIRSYNC protocol is fairly similar to syncrepl. But the AD featureset has changed between AD W2K and W2K3 (and W2K8) so there's still some issues to resolve in our code. I haven't followed its progress much lately, no idea when we'll have a committable patch in hand.

In which programming language?

In C.
