Hi,
I have a brief question. I'm not really experienced in the whole LDAP
field but I was trying to figure out if the following setup is possible.
I have 2 different directory servers...a Lotus Notes/Domino server and a
Active Directory server. Can we use Fedora as a central LDAP server and
is it possible to easily synchronize/replicate the Fedora server with
the Notes and AD server? I tried to find some documentation about this
but only found http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:WindowsSync
so I guess synchronization with AD is covered but is this also possible
with Notes?
It also seems quite technical....are there perhaps certain tools which
makes this more easy for you?
Much thanks is advance!
Best Regards,
Hugo

Depends on what you want on Domino (Notes). It's fairly easy to add
person entries to the Notes address book via Domino/LDAP (needs some
Domino server configuration tweaks) but these cannot be turned into real
Notes users with ID and mailbox files. If you want to create real Notes
users you have to add entries in the certreq database.
I'm still figuring out whether I use the Notes client with pywin32 for
that or whether to do that via DIIOP (or whether I leave that out and
just generate tickets). Several meta directory agents also seem to take
the Win32 programming approach with the Notes client.
It also seems quite technical….are there perhaps certain tools which
makes this more easy for you?
I'm curious on whether you find open source tools.
Ciao, Michael.

Fedora is only going to be used as central access point. So we only need to synchronize
the Domino(notes) server with Fedora and also the Active Directory server with Fedora. So
say I add a user to the Active Directory server. This user then needs to be synchronized
to the Fedora server and then synchronized to the Domino(Notus) server....and vice versa.

Whatever "synchronized to the Domino(Notus) server" means.

Adding a fully usable notes user account usually requires going through
a process for generating the user's Notes ID file and a mailbox
database. This is not as simple as adding a AD or FDS account via LDAP.
Adding a simple person entry to be listed in the Notes address book is
simple though. But I guess you want to have full Notes user accounts.
That's off-topic here though.
Ciao, Michael.

Like I said, I'm not really an expert on what is all involved in the creation of a
notes account. All I know we need the address books equal on both server and I guess that
means also the creation of a full notes account like you said.
Thanks for your info Michael!
Best regards,
Hugo

I'd suggest to first look at how it's done manually. Then you have a far
better view on the necessary details.
