hello,
In my company, the AD server that is sync with a 389 directory server
will be changed by a new one (because the actual AD is used and old and
not eternal)
In the documentation
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/8.1/admin/Windows_Sync.html
I don't find the possibility to edit the name of the AD in the Sync
agreement in the console of 389.
I suppose that I need to delete the previous sync agreement and create a
new sync agreement with the new AD server.
So I have question about this process :
1/ does the deleting sync agreement delete the data in the 389 directory
server?
No.
2/ Do I need to create the new sync agreement before to delete the
previous or vice versa ?
You should first delete the previous, then create a new one.
Alternately, you could stop the server, and edit the dse.ldif file
directly, and just change the name of the AD host. That might work -
the DS uses the AD DirSync control to sync with AD - if the hostname/IP
address is part of the cookie, then incremental sync from AD to DS might
fail - in that case, you would have to re-init the sync (which is what
you would have to do anyway if you delete and add the agreement).
thanks,
