That would be fine for now just as long as this RFC is the reference
basis for multi-master replication
Multi-master replication in 389?
Yes Rich, multi-master replication in 389 DS only.
because I'll be using it as a supporting reference document for my
ongoing research on LDAP multi-master replication.
Cross vendor multi-master replication? AFAIK, only
Netscape/iPlanet/Sun/389 derived servers support the LDUP RFCs, and only a
subset of the LDUP RFCs. Novell eDir probably supports some of LDUP too.
Cross vendor multi-master replication is not part of the scope of
my implementation for now but probably in the future I might tackle this
so, thanks in advance in giving me hints/info on other implementations LDUP
support.
Any idea what makes any directory server implementations don't have
complete support on this RFC?
The LDUP working group never reached a satisfactory conclusion with
working implementations. The Netscape implementation was based on early
work of the LDUP working group, but diverged in some ways, and in other
ways didn't keep up with later work by the LDUP group.
Are there any requirements conflicting or not appropriate to
architectural design of any implementations?
Well, I suppose I could go through the LDUP RFCs point-by-point to figure
out where 389 diverges, but that's not really an exercise I care to
undertake.
Alright don't worry, I'll observe how the multi-master replication
behavior goes and cross check the RFC.
If you're asking for a list of all of the places where 389 is in accord
with the LDUP RFCs, and a list of all of the places where 389 diverges, and
the reasons why, there is no such list.
Ok, got it and thanks for answering my questions. Really appreciate it and
now I know the story behind.
Thanks a lot!
