ApacheDS as replacement for OpenLDAP
Hello everybody,
we are using OpenLDAP as the main user-repository together with
Linux-PAM and Samba. All authentication is done via ldap.
I wonder if it would be possible to replace the OpenLDAP with ApacheDS
in the first place. Later on I would like to make use of triggers in
ApacheDS.
We are using the smbk5pwd-overlay to keep the different
password-hashes (samba / PAM) in sync. Is something similar
neccessary / possible with ApacheDS?
Is there any documentation / howto to use ApacheDS in such an
environment (without kerberos)?
Thanks for any hint!

As I understand the 1.0 manual, a simple OpenLDAP replace should bei
fairly easy. But what about the password extended-operations? Are the
usable as well together with e.g. pam_ldap?

Is there any sort of documentation how to install / setup the
ApacheDS?

I think we do not have such a service yet but it's easy to implement one
with Triggers! :) It's also possible to implement it as an Interceptor as we
have already done for Kerberos.
