Hi
the next question our customer had was, if he can use "ldapdiff" to
synchronize two ITDS servers which are not explicitly configured as
replicas but which he wants sync.

In general I'd recommend to implement a sync tool which directly
accesses the servers via LDAP (or other protocols e.g. SQL databases).
Because command-line tools in batch jobs does not give you full control
when handling errors.
Ciao, Michael.

You might be able to use ldapdiff to synchronize two ITDS directories if
there is no replication configured. But once replication is configured,
ldapdiff would try to synchronize the replication information as well,
which would cause troubles. For a directory of any significant size, this
would be a slow process; ldapdiff walks both directories comparing every
entry. Replication is based on changes, and tools like Tivoli Directory
Integrator can be driven by the change log as well.

But this is not the intended use of ldapdiff, and they won't get any
support for using it that way.
