Hi i'm new to this channel and i'm studying the FreeIPA code in order to understand how things works, so i was wondering how FreeIPA works with 389 Directory Server in order to create the LDAP database and how dose it syncs with the OS users, if you can provide me a link to the code or a brief explanation on how it works it would be very appreciated. Also I was thinking if for FreeIPA it would be possible to support other Directory server such as OpenLDAP or it dose already support other servers, in this case does someone knows which other LDAP server does support, thanks a lot to everyone.

The installation portion happens in https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa/blob/master/ipaserver/install/dsinstance.... .
IPA does not currently work with other LDAP servers. It relies on some features in 389, memberof in particular, and some custom plugins that IPA provides. It would be non-trivial to port to another LDAP server.
