mirror & sync Zimbra Ldap and External Ldap

[ravichandra4fans]

I have LDAP setup and being used with Squid for internet sharing.

Intially When I have setup Zimbra.I configured it for authentication from my LDAP. But I realised because of load of proxy server on LDAP degrading preformance of Zimbra.

I wish to setup Zimbra LDAP and wish to know if it is possible to mirror External Ldap to zimbra ldap and also Can I keep them synchronised?.

Let me know if insufficient details/ ambiguous.

Thanks,r.

so you are looking to replicate your existing ldap server on the zimbra server?

you could probably due this by running a separate openldap instance on the server on a different port. i would not try to use the existing zimbra ldap as you are likely to break something and even if you don't upgrading will break it.
