Novell’s DirXML and Open Directory

[dave@mmu]

Hi there. I’ve been toying with the idea of using Novell’s DirXML LDAP driver to sync from our large eDirectory to our xserve’s Open Directory system. I’m just wondering if anyone has tried this? I’m only having a go at it really, if i can;t get it working then i’ll have to extend the eDirectory’s schema and get the server to authenticate directly to the eDir… We’re using NW6.5 so that shouldn’t be too hard (i hope!!)

Hi Joel, yeah, i’ve been thinking about it all evening and i think you may be right. I think what i’ll do is using DirXML, create a flat copy of our rather highly structured eDir on a separate tree so i can keep the schema extensions away from the live university tree as our central network people are wary of me upgrading the central schema just for our macs..
I’ll post back if i get any where..

Thanks, Dave
