Greetings,

I have two computers with these:-

host 1: --cpu amd64 3 cores --os blfs linux-3.10.24, openldap-2.4.33 with bdb backend

host 2: --cpu amd64 3 cores --os blfs linux-3.10.24, openldap-2.4.33 with sql backend

QUESTION: can I replicate these databases over each host (in other words can I for example do N-ray multimaster syncrepl ( http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html ) or another type of replication in view of the different backends ?

AFAIK, replication is at the ldap server talking to another level (network communication). So it should not care much about the backend unless more than one ldap server is using the same db at the same time (don't know how to do it or even whether it is doable).

thanks in advance sincerely luxnteg

See slapd-sql(5) on the backend limitations and the appropriate odbc documentation. In fact replication between back-{hdb|mdb} and back-sql is not recommended. Depending on your requirements you may think of including back-sql as subordinate database and replicate by means of the sql-database specific procedures, and only replicate back-{hdb|mdb} by syncrepl.
