OK I have found out where this done! There is a piece of 'C' in the
server - 'ldap/servers/plugins/replication/windows_protocol_util.c'
which contains hard wired lists of attributes that can be
synchronised. Not what I had hoped for!
Is this the place to discuss extensions to the system?
Yes, or
fedora-directory-devel for more developer oriented discussions.
If so I would like to propose that a mechanism be developed that
would
allow additional schema entries to be mapped - ideally I would like to
add 'userPrincipalName', the RFC2307 attributes (and possibly the SFU
extensions) as well as some of the exchange fields e.g. the
proxyAddresses entries. What I have in mind is a facility whereby the
sync agreement can have mapping tables added (using the same sets of
rules that are currently supported plus the ability to call out to an
external function to map single attributes - we will leave more
complex things to Meta-directories e.g. combining attributes) the
tables being driven from new objects held in the FDS.

Note sure how hard this is going to be to do - and I would need my
hand holding over where and how to make the changes - but I would be
willing to give this a go if we can agree a spec.
Anybody interested?
Definitely. I would suggest creating a wiki page at
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/ Here is a good example of a feature
requirements + design document -
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Account_Policy_Design
In the meantime I will implement an external sync process that uses
our meta-directory platform. .... Ho Humm!
