I have removed this comment. With the addition of the 'ldap replication sleep' parameter, this can be made to work quite well. > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= > > And now i am wondering this questions : > . if the samba DBC contain the following configuration > => passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://slave.quenya.org ldap://master.quenya.org"; > will samba store informations in the master ldap server or will it fail ? This will work fine. Samba will talk to the master for updates. Set 'ldap replication sleep' to the amount of time you expect the slave to take to catch up to reality. (Oh, and I know that's dody, but better ideas haven't yet been implemented). > Or is it necessary to put the master ldap server first like this : > => passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://master.quenya.org ldap://slave.quenya.org"; > . can i install a samba BDC with a ldap slave server ?

Updates will fail.
