Replication - How can we do it?

[Cody Burleson <co...@burlesontech.com>]

Hey friends,

In looking at the documentation on the Apache DS site, it seems to suggest
that there was some Multi-Master Replication built into version 1.5. We
would like to start working with that feature, but there is just no
documentation that I can find about how. The replication page here just says
"To be added...":
http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/1.5/72-replication.html

Does anyone know if this feature is just too immature to begin working with?
Whether or not there is another way to access some documentation about it?

Mainly, our issue is that we really want to start using Apache DS in a
limited manner, but cannot unless we can assure some kind of fault tolerance
and redundancy. If we hook multiple apps to one LDAP server and it goes
down, we're hosed. So we are assuming that the logical way around this
scenario is replication. Am I wrong?

Thanks in advance for any insight anyone might provide.

hi Cody,

    The replication is still under development and is slated to be present in version 2.0

    We are planning to release 2.0-RC1 as soon as possible (mostly in November)

    Please feel free to post any other questions/feature requests you have

    Thank you for considering Apache Directory
