Fedora directory users - Nov 2006 - RE: Extracting details from Active Directoryto FDS

Hi
 
Has anyone had any thoughts on my query or can point me in the right
direction?
 
As is the nature of AD, I would have thought it is possible to extract
this information using a scope setting or something similar.
 
Thanks
 
Darren

Directoryto FDS
	
	

	Hi all, 

	I''ve been tinkering with integrating our Linux devices into our
AD domain for some time and I''ve hit a few brick walls, however
I''ve
recently discovered FDS and the synchronisation features with AD.

	I''ve managed to set up a few replication jobs, however due to
the extensive nature of our AD, I''ve realised that the sync only takes
the group and user objects from the OU or CN being specified.

	Is there any way I can specify that it should traverse all
subtrees of an OU and extract all that information back into FDS?

	Thanks 
	
	Darren

Fedora DS can currently only sync simple user, group, and password 
information.

Have you tried specifying a sync DN like "dc=domain,dc=com" instead of
"cn=Users,dc=domain,dc=com"?
