Hi Will,
I was actually thinking .net to be fair but not sure given .net core is only available on
linux what functionality we would have if written in .net and what would be lost or
missing.
Regards,
Jonathan

Hi Will,
Thanks for the below. My next question for 389ds what language would this need to be
developed in?
Again, it depends. If the tool was external, today it's probably best to use python
and lib389. If it was a plugin in the server that would be C. However, we are also
starting to develop Rust support, and I personally am biased to prefer Rust (especially
it's tools for json like serde are excellent).
If you were to do this in Rust as an external tool, the jump to making it a part of the
server core would also be easier too if we decided to rearchitect and integrate it too. So
my vote preference order is:
1 - Rust
2 - Python (if external sync tool)
3 - C (if external or internal)
Of course, part of it's also what you're happy to work in too.
Hope that helps,
Regards,
Jonathan

There are a few ways you could approach it. One way would be an external daemon that runs
and feeds data into a seperate 389 topology.
Another way would be a new "replication plugin" in the server so that 389 can
consume data from azure AD.
But both of them will need to read data from azure AD and know:
* What have we seen before?
* What's changed?
* How to transform the azure ad entry to something 389 can understand.
So I think the first place to start is knowing what API's azure AD has for external
applications to synchronise data from azure AD. (Getting back into azure is another
problem of it's own that can be for later).
Maybe these two urls are a starting point.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/how-to-
connect-sync-endpoint-api-v2
OR
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/synchronization-o
verview?view=graph-rest-beta
So I think that's where to start. Then you could probably write a toy-demo
application that can read from the sync api. Then you can build it out from there to push
data to 389.
Does that help?
