Hi Philippe, if you are interested, and especially if you need to migrate only user profiles from AD to ApacheDS, I'd rather suggest an alternative approach based on Apache Syncope. The idea could be to synchronize user profiles from AD to Syncope (which features a full-Java agentless AD connector) and then propagate such users to ApacheDS (via standard LDAPv3 connector). You can see an example close to your use case at [1]. Post your questions / comments to [email protected] in case. Regards.
