Multiple databases - single suffix vs. Single database - multiple suffixes

[Anne Tanguy <amtanguy@yahoo.com>]

Hello,

 

We used to have one single database holding one suffix but the compagny 's gonna be separated into two entities.

So the big picture is to separate the directory; I went back to the FAQ and read that multiple databases each holding one suffix should be preferred to a single one holding multiple suffixes (see http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/342.html).

Though the latter seems easier to me (except maybe for replication...)

 

What did you experienced (OpenLDAP 2.1.22) ?

What are the pros ans the cons ?

 

Thanks for sharing your opinion

 

Anne
