RE: replicated LDAP on IBM i using PowerHA GlobalMirror

Marc:

I highly doubt it as the LDAP server is really a piece of Tivoli code that
runs on IBM i , with some PACE parts.

As you point out, what should be happening is the Tivoli server set up and
then use the replication function that is built into it to push it to the
other servers. In this case I have an OEM software product and an outside
consulting company for that OEM vendor telling me that's not how they want
it done. The whole thing is very V4R5ish in my view, which becomes the root
cause of the problem.

Sometimes you just gotta let them do what they want.

I have a customer that has a requirement to replicate the LDAP server
from one IBM i instance to another. I've suggested they merely create
the LDAP on the other server and treat it as a second instance but a
software vendor is forcing them to replicate it instead. (why, I've
no clue other than to suggest they need to understand how LDAP works, but

that's another

discussion) So far I've come up with the following procedure:



Save '/QIBM/UserData/OS400/NetworkAuthentication/*'

Save '/QIBM/UserData/OS400/DirSrv/'

SAVOBJ OBJ(QGLD*) LIB(QUSRSYS)

SAVLIB LIB(QUSRDIRDB QUSRDIRCL QDIRSRV2) SAVACT(*SYNCLIB)

Never tried, but could those libraries and directories (through a symbolinc
link) be moved into the IASP?

Even if I agree that ldap replication is probably the best way to proceed.
