Hi i'm new to this channel and i'm studying the FreeIPA code
in order to understand how things works, so i was wondering how FreeIPA works with 389
Directory Server in order to create the LDAP database and how dose it syncs with the OS
users, if you can provide me a link to the code or a brief explanation on how it works it
would be very appreciated.
Also I was thinking if for FreeIPA it would be possible to support other Directory server
such as OpenLDAP or it dose already support other servers, in this case does someone knows
which other LDAP server does support, thanks a lot to everyone.
The installation portion happens in
https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa/blob/master/ipaserver/install/dsinstan...
.
IPA does not currently work with other LDAP servers. It relies on some
features in 389, memberof in particular, and some custom plugins that
IPA provides. It would be non-trivial to port to another LDAP server.
