Book excerpt: Can you synchronize two LDAP directories? Replication is a mechanism allowing to copy data from one server to another automatically. After copying data from the server storing the main copy of data for servers storing other copies of this data, the mechanism of replication still synchronizes all copies on servers, i.e. changing data on the server with the right to save data results in the same changes in data copies on other servers. The micro-course describes the ways of synchronizing LDAP directories on the basis of the OpenLDAP server. The older model, realized by the slurpd server, and the newer way, done with the SyncRepl mechanism built in the server, are also shown here.
