Does anyone have any experience building out a master/slave setup for
Apache DS (or any directory service)?
Thanks again,
Craig

hi Craig,
Hello,
We are building a solution out around version 1.5.5 of Apache DS. As
we've been developing the solution, I had assumed replication was
working based on the commented-out sections in server.xml. Last
night I came to the realization that Mitosis is "out" and that the
team is moving to Syncrepl in the 2.0 timeframe.
yes, syncrepl is going to be the replication system, mitosis is no
longer used and was removed
from code.
While I see some of the syncrepl code in source control, am I correct
in my assumption that it isn't in working condition in the 1.5.5
release?
yes, it was broken cause of various reasons (AFAICT refactoring of the
earlier code base was one reason)
What option, if any, do we have for replication in version 1.5.5? Is
there any way to bring mitosis "back to life" on top of 1.5.5?
am afraid, NO
(I've
read there were some problems in mitosis that might make it
unsuitable for production use). At least in the short term a warm
failover model (using master-slave replication) might be reasonable
for us. Is there any way to set that up in 1.5.5 with what is
available?
think no
While it isn't
my first choice, I'm in the process of completing a custom
interceptor, so I suppose a replication interceptor (for
master/slave) might also be an option.
yes
