I use AD (Active Directory) for authentication and repository data.
But now I need to add new attributes to the LDAP of AD and we prefer to create a new parallel ldap using openLDAP.
That means I have to synchronize some attributes from one LDAP to another (no need password sync).
Ex: If I add/delete a user/group to AD, i need to replicate the user/gruop in openldap. And for speed purposes, I'll replicate some attributes from AD to openldap.
Can any tell me if is there any way or software to synchronize AD and openldap?
I've configured openldap to receive queries for Opendap and Active Directory (chaining) so openldap acts as a proxy for Active Directory.
If entry is in openldap, it returns the result to the client.
if entry is in Active Directory, openldap searches for it and return the result to the client.
