[Fedora-directory-devel] [PATCH] Allow replication in 00core.ldif

[Andrew Bartlett]

I've been playing with Fedora DS replication and Samba, and have been
making good progress.

See http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/LDAP_Backend/Fedora_DS for
the evolving set of instructions (should get better over the next week).

I need this patch applied (and possibly the bitwise patch too) to get
the replication working.

I also had to hack up mmr.pl to take a port, and not assume 389

I've updated the wiki, and I would like some feedback.  I've not yet
retested the procedure here, but I wondered if (at a glance) this could
be made simpler?  Is there anything I can cut out?

Can parts of the Fedora DS configuration itself be replicated across the
replication protocol, or at least can I use the initial_ldif to set
things up?  It didn't seem to apply to dse.ldif.

Should we have a way to specify to ds_newinst.pl that only the very base
schema is to be loaded?  Then I think I could add the Samba schema
directly with LDAP, and avoid having to copy that too.

Thoughts?

The list of packages on FC7 - you also need svrcore-devel, 
mozldap-devel, and posssibly perl-Mozilla-LDAP and mozldap-tools

For the bitwise patch - is there a bug for this already?  Maybe we 
should just commit the bitwise plugin to fedora ds.

For the schema - you could just remove all unnecessary schema files from 
$prefix/etc/fedora-ds/schema.  ds_newinst.pl copies all of those files 
to the new instance directory, so if you don't want them, you could just 
remove them from there.

No.  Only schema added over LDAP.

I'm not sure what you mean.  Do you mean fds-extra.ldif?

I'm not sure what you mean.

Sure.  It would probably be a nice option to have.

Thanks, I'll update the list.

I've just filed a bug for you, #239764.

I would rather not do that.

I re-read the docs, and the InstallLdif command only applies to the data
partition, not any configuration.
