3. Federation of LDAP services (for DS products that

Company A does business with company B, they want
some subset of their directory data sync'ed in two directions.
This can't be done with replication, even if the two orgs use
the same DS product, because replication implies too much
common administration for two distinct organizations.
What about referrals?
Do you mean LDAP clients in Company A would receive
a referral and contact Company B's server directly ?
If so then that's something I've never seen deployed to
solve a federation problem. I suspect that no IT group
is going to allow random clients to access its LDAP
service from an outside organization.
We have thoughts on virtual directories and views for LDAP. Not in the
very near future, but we'll introduce some facilities like you
mentioned. And also replication is hopefully coming with the next
release. You may futher detail your requirements so we can use them to
form our roadmap.
That all sounds great, but none of the above is a sync tool,
which is what I'm asking about here.
