Is one-way replication possible?
Hi,
I have the following situation:
ServerA:
It is not managed by me and I can just take user and group
information from it.
dc=foo,dc=com
|_ ou=Groups
|_ ou=Users
ServerB:
Managed by me, it's a Samba PDC backend and account database for
several services.
dc=bar,dc=com
|_ ou=Computers
|_ ou=Groups
|_ ou=Users
.
.
.
On ServerB I have the same users (uid's) as ServerA AND users from my
location. What I need is to sync just the userPassword attribute from
users on ServerA to the same users on ServerB.
Now, I thought about using syncrepl, but I have several problems:
a. The BaseDN's are different. I would manage to change it on
ServerB if have no choice, but would rather "suffixmassage" it in some
way if possible.
b. If I configure ServerB as a slave, then I can't modify it any
more, cause it referres modifications to the master. I just want the
userPassword synced from ServerA, but I need to be able to manage the
other users and objects on the tree. So, the replication should be
kind of "one-way only", but don't know if such thing is possible.
I would be very grateful if someone could help me with pointers or
suggestions about how to accomplish this, or what alternatives do I
have for a schema like this.
Thanks in advance.-
