[Fedora-directory-users] fedora directory server and sun directory server

[Aaron Bliss]

We are currently running sun directory server, however I don't 
particularly care for it too much....I'm thinking about possibly 
migrating to fds (I've used fds extensively at my previous job)...Does 
anyone know if it's possible to setup replication between a sun 
directory server supplier and fds consumer?  Thanks for your help.

Yes it is, the
two are compatible at the replication protocol level.
There's code in FDS to detect that it's talking to a 'downlevel' server
(and I suspect, the same kind of code in SunDS too), and they will
speak the protocol that they both used the last time they were one
and the same product.

However, if you're looking for a 'take it to the bank, you can sue me
if it ever breaks' type of guarantee, then please ignore what I just said.
But yes, it works, or at least it did fairly recently.
