Hi
we are currently facing a requirement to be implemented with VDS. Does VDS support the "Content Synchronization Protocol"?
Please refer to the following quote:
"Replication features allow LDAP DIT updates to be copied to one or more LDAP systems for backup and/or performance reasons. In this context it is worth emphasizing that replication operates at the DIT level not the LDAP server level. Thus, in a single server running multiple DITs each DIT may be replicated to a different server. Replication occurs periodically within what this guide calls the replication cycle time. OpenLDAP version 2.3 introduced a powerful new replication feature (generically known as syncrepl) and with version 2.4 this was further enhanced to provide multi-master capabilities. There are two possible replication configurations and multiple variations on each configuration type.
Replication occurs at the level of the DIT and describes the process of copying updates from a DIT on one LDAP server to the same DIT on one or more other servers. Replication configurations may be either MASTER-SLAVE or Producer-Consumer in OpenLDAP's idiosyncratic terminology (the SLAVE - consumer - copy is always read-only) or MULTI-MASTER. Replication is a configuration (operational) issue, however, the Content Synchronization Protocol (used by syncrepl) is defined by RFC 4533."
We want to set the VDS as master of this replication and set other OpenLDAP to replicate with VDS. Please see the attachment.
