Fedora directory users - Dec 2005 - Migrating OpenLDAP with Samba to FDS

G''day All,

Has anyone used the OpenLDAP to FDS migration script to migrate OpenLDAP
with the Samba schema already included into FDS? If so, did you have to
get the Samba schema installed first in FDS?

presuming that you are talking about...
http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Howto:Samba

and specifically the ol-schema.migrate.pl script 

then, yes, that was enough to load the samba.schema supplied with samba.
In fact, I used it to convert some other schema''s that I use (authzldap
and rfc2739.schema for Horde/IMP).

I also noted that the one entry in my case...

dn: sambaDomainName=AZAPPLE,dc=azapple,dc=com
objectClass: sambaDomain
sambaDomainName: AZAPPLE
sambaSID: S-1-5-21-XXXXX etc.
sambaAlgorithmicRidBase: 1000

didn''t migrate but undoubtedly would have migrated if I had manually
added...

objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalUnit

to this dn

Yes that is the script and thanks for the info... Are you using the
multiple master feature? If so, how has the worked out? We have OpenLDAP
configured with a single master and multiple slave servers. Being able
to use the multiple master configuration would probably be the only
reason to switch...

I think that you can have multi-master with openldap now too.

I don''t use it and don''t have customers which would demand it.

I find that if I have to go through the pain of installing one or the
other on a RHEL 4 or clone system, fedora directory server would seem to
be easier to install initially and upgrade. I think the password policy
is more mature on fedora directory server (though I haven''t used it and
I do intend to get around to playing with it).

Which one?  I used LdapImport.pl.

Yes.

If so, did you have to

Yes, but LdapImport.pl does that for you.
