Thanks Richard!
Have a couple of follow-up questions :
1) iPlanet to Fedora chaining should work fine as you have mentioned. Does chaining
require both of them to have exactly same schemas or chaining doesnt require that?
2) Client sends request to Fedora (with some authentication info) and then request gets
dispatched to iPlanet/ActiveDirectory. How will this request be authenticated at
iPlanet/ActiveDirectory. I believe authentication credentials will be different for all
these LDAPs.

Ankur

Hi,
We have 2 existing directory services set-up with different schemas:
1) Active Directory
2) iPlanet LDAP
Now we want to introduce a third one (Fedora LDAP) where we want to
use referal/chaining features to send requests to these already
existing servers. Would really appreciate your answers on:
1) Can we modify/update active directory data and iPlanet data with
application interfacing only with new Fedora LDAP which will dispatch
requests to these servers? Or can referal/chaining be used only for
querying other LDAP servers?
A chaining database is read-write - it looks just like
a local db to
clients.
2) Can Referal/Chaning be set-up across ActiveDirectory and Fedora
with them having different schemas? Similarly between iPlanet and Fedora?
Not sure
about AD. Some other people on the list have been trying to
get chaining and pass through auth to work with AD, but I haven't seen
any reports of success yet.
iPlanet to Fedora should work just fine.
3) If we want to migrate data from iPlanet to Fedora (having diff
schema on Fedora) then any issues we must be aware of and any best
practices?
Just make sure your customized schema is copied to Fedora. iPlanet and
Fedora DS are very compatible.
Thanks,
Ankur
