Hello,
Thank you for answering.
Yes, every customer has it's own ldap server which should be master.
Q: You do not want it the other way around and have 4
(multi-)master in the datacenter and 1200+ replicas outside, do
you?
That would be the best design indeed, but the problem is that the
customers need write access to their own ldapserver.
Now I hear you thinking; Customers can have write access in the
datacentre and it then will be replicated to the customers own
ldapserver.
The problem is that a lot of customers have quite a bad vpn
connection to the datacentre and when they add a user for example it
must be available immediatley.
And with a failing vpn connection nothing happens. they MUST be able
to write in their own local ldapserver

I'm in doubt what design I need to use for
openldap
This is the situation;
We have 1200+ customers using LDAP. We want to replicate all
these ldap
server to 1 big ldapserver in a datacentre with a multi-master
config.
This means each customer has its own ldap server and you will have
1200+ ldap servers?
So all the customers are a master-ldap who
replicate to the datacentre.
"all the customers (=ldap servers) _are_ master-ldap"?
This would mean you have 1200+ provider/master!?
My idea was to build in the datacentre a
ldapcluster of about 4 server
What for then?
My question is: Will this be stable,
because there will be 1200+ ldapservers replicating
to 4 ldapserver in the datacentre.
You do not want it the other way around and have 4 (multi-)master
in the datacenter and 1200+ replicas outside, do you?
I know this depends on the number of write
actions at the customers. All I
can say is that write actions at the customers isn't THAT much.
I really hope somebody can give me an answer or maybe there's
somebody
else with the same config
We have one provider and 160 consumers - and this is IMHO called
"a lot" here, if I'm right ...
