Hi Dieter,

Thanks for the info, I have been doing some investigations and am making progress but have similar question.

Is it possible to implement syncrepl in one slapd instance for example replicating from one internal database to another eg.

dc=A,dc=example,dc=com

to

dc=A,dc=replica,dc=internal

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I am investigating the use of syncrepl to improve the efficiency of the transport mechanism that we are currently using in a world-wide distributed OpenLDAP deployment.

If LDAP server A has information under "cn=my_resource,dc=example,dc=com" is it possible to replicate this information to LDAP server B but slightly modify the DN so that this becomes a sub tree of a larger tree eg. "cn=my_resource,cn=my_group,dc=example,dc=com"?

Alternative suggestions are welcome and I would be happy to explain what we are trying to do in more detail if anyone is interested.

In principle this is possible, but needs some redesign of your consumer hosts. There are several options, i.e. slapd-ldap(5), slapd-relay(5), slapo-rwm(5).
