Right now, we have 4 Windows servers: 2 Domain controllers (1 of which is
serving as the Terminal Server License server), 1 general purpose
workstation for users to Remote Desktop into, and 1 server that runs
Citrix Presentation server. We also have 2 linux servers that we connect
to that we have configured to contact our domain controller for
authentication.
We really aren't using most of the features that AD has/provides. Just
basic user authentication, which is why we thought we could easily move to
389 DS. If we do, we figured that we could keep the Citrix server around
and have it contact the new DS server for authentication. Maybe keep the
1 domain controller as a member server that still does the license
services.
We're not opposed to scrapping AD though. If we have to migrate over
users manually, or via an ldif file that we script/create, we can do that.
Right now, we're just trying to get familiar with the features of 389 DS.
Thanks,
Harry

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. While I have your attention, can
I ask
another question since I'm progressing along? What I ultimately want
to do is migrate from Microsoft Active Directory 2003 to 389 Directory
Server. I was reading up on how to export to an ldif file using
ldifde. However, when I try to import the ldif file into my test 389
DS, I get an error for each user that says "entry <xxxx> has unknown
object class "user" " (the <xxxx> is the CN= entry for that user).
All I've found in the docs online so far is how to sync between the DS
and AD. I don't want to sync; I want to basically migrate. I can't
find how to do that. Any thoughts?
The schema that AD uses is very different from the schema that 389 uses.
You'll have to do some scripting to get the data in the right format, and
a lot of trial and error. I don't know if there are AD to LDAP migration
scripts out there.
Also, you can't just replace AD with 389 if you need to support a Windows
network. AD does a lot more than just an LDAP server.
Thanks!

Yes. You will need to open 389, 636, and 9830
