[Fedora-directory-users] fedora directory server and sun directory server
We are currently running sun directory server, however I don''t particularly care for it too much....I''m thinking about possibly migrating to fds (I''ve used fds extensively at my previous job)...Does anyone know if it''s possible to setup replication between a sun directory server supplier and fds consumer? Thanks for your help. Aaron

Thanks for your help.Yes it is, the two are compatible at the replication protocol level. There''s code in FDS to detect that it''s talking to a ''downlevel'' server (and I suspect, the same kind of code in SunDS too), and they will speak the protocol that they both used the last time they were one and the same product. However, if you''re looking for a ''take it to the bank, you can sue me if it ever breaks'' type of guarantee, then please ignore what I just said. But yes, it works, or at least it did fairly recently.
