migratiting to ApacheDS

[Juergen Aschenbrenner <ju...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

In order to develop and test components offline I am currently trying to
migrate a directory from the network to my local machine using ApacheDS 1.0.
Though it seems that ApacheDS does not fully understand the schema used by
the network directory. Relatively new to the concept of modelling a
directory I learned that it should it be possible to customize or extend a
schema in order to migrate or replicate schemas.

Could someone here in this mailing list give me a hint how to do this.

Thanks in advance

Jürgen

Hi Juergen !

as Stefan says, using apacheDS 1.5 is much easier. Plus the fact we
have a serious issue in ADS 1.0.1 with Schema adding (we are still
struggling with 1.0.2 release...) should dribve you to use ADS 1.5.
FYI, ADS 1.5 is also much faster than ADS 1.0 (I would say 2 times
faster, at least)

Note that ADS 1.5 needs Java 5.

I would recommend to use ApacheDS 1.5, although it is not a stable 
release yet. But the schema subsystem is much more powerful, and 
extending or changing the schema is much easier with it.

A possible starting point on how to learn to add new schema elements to 
the ApacheDS 1.5 server is here:

http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/1.5/add-your-first-elements-to-the-schema.html

Do you have more information about the missing schema elements? What 
type of network directory do you use (ApacheDS is a network server as 
well, btw.)? Perhaps, one of us can support you with your task.

I hope this helps, Greetings from Hamburg,
