<div>Thanks Richard!</div> <div> </div> <div>Have a couple of follow-up questions : </div> <div> </div> <div>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?</div> <div> </div> <div>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.</div> <div> </div> <div>regards,</div> <div>Ankur<BR><BR><B><I>Richard Megginson <rmeggins@redhat.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Ankur Agarwal wrote:<BR>> Hi,<BR>> <BR>> We have 2 existing directory services set-up with different schemas:<BR>> 1) Active
