Hello,

in our company we're working on project of migration multiple master-slave synchronized OpenLDAP servers to multi-master 389 DS servers configuration.

We've been using OpenLDAP to store data of multiple applications such as DNS servers (PowerDNS), DHCP servers, Mail servers (Postfix, Amavis) etc..for at least 9 years.

We need to use custom LDAP schemas to store the data of these applications in LDAP. These need to be converted from OpenLDAP format to RFC strict 389 DS convenient format which actually works great for most of them.

Unfortunately I didn't manage to use PowerDNS LDAP schema (https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/backends/ldap.html) with 389 DS. As I tried to google more information why this schema doesn't work with 389 DS I found out it uses 'dnsdomain' schema which comes with OpenLDAP (https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/389-users/2011-January/012721.html) and was removed from 389 DS many years ago.

Could you please give me some advice what can I do to make PowerDNS backend work with 389 DS ?


We're mid-sized company with many services using LDAP as their storage backend and to migrate all of them to new LDAP servers is priority number one. If there is no way to migrate PowerDNS LDAP data from OpenLDAP to 389 DS the whole project of migration to 389 DS would need to be reconsidered. Nevertheless I don't understand why such a worldwide popular DNS server which PowerDNS surely is couldn't be used with 389 DS LDAP implementation which is also quite popular.

Thank you
