[Fedora-directory-users] synchronize fedora with Lotus Dominoand MS Active directory

[Hugo Hendriks]

Fedora is only going to be used as central access point. So we only need to synchronize the Domino(notes) server with Fedora and also the Active Directory server with Fedora. So say I add a user to the Active Directory server. This user then needs to be synchronized to the Fedora server and then synchronized to the Domino(Notus) server....and vice versa.

That's almost exactly my job in a customer project (source DB is different).

Depends on what you want on Domino (Notes). It's fairly easy to add 
person entries to the Notes address book via Domino/LDAP (needs some 
Domino server configuration tweaks) but these cannot be turned into real 
Notes users with ID and mailbox files. If you want to create real Notes 
users you have to add entries in the certreq database.

I'm still figuring out whether I use the Notes client with pywin32 for 
that or whether to do that via DIIOP (or whether I leave that out and 
just generate tickets). Several meta directory agents also seem to take 
the Win32 programming approach with the Notes client.

I'm curious on whether you find open source tools.

Ciao, Michael.
