Questions about OpenLDAP2.2~ release
Hello,
I've read the administration guide.
Here questions about OpenLDAP2.2~ release.
In section "14. LDAP Sync Replication":
-----------
While slapd (8) can function as the LDAP Sync provider only when it is configured
with either back-bdb or back-hdb backend, the syncrepl engine, which is a
consumer-side replication engine, can work with any backends.
-----------
Does this mean function "LDAP Syncrep" only can be applied with back-bdb/back-hdb?
It cannot be supported with other backends? (For example, back-sql and etc.)
In section "15. The Proxy Cache Engine", also it wrote:
-----------
The <DB> parameter specifies which underlying database is to be used to hold cached
entries. It should be set to bdb, hdb, or ldbm.
-----------
Does this mean function "Proxy Cache" only can be executed on back-bdb/hdb/ldbm?
It cannot be supported with other backends?
If the answer is "yes", about the following new functions of 2.2~ version, are there
other items only can be applied with back-bdb/hdb/ldb?
-------------------------------------------
"LDAP Sync"-based lightweight replication
Proxy Cache Support
Hierarchical Backend
NS-SLAPI Support
Backend Layering
Access Control extensions including dynamic group support
LDAPv3 extensions:
ACID extensions
Cancel Operation
Content Synchronization Operation
DIT Content Rules
Duplicate Entry Extension
Simple Paged Results Extension
Proxy Authorization Extension
-------------------------------------------
Best regards.
Thanks
