Does replication inter-operate with Netscape/iPlanet/Sun Directory Server?

• Sun/iPlanet DS 5.0, 5.1 and Netscape Directory Server 6.x, 7.0: Yes. The protocol was extended in DS7.1, but there is detection code to identify downlevel replicas and fall back to the old protocol. • Sun DS 5.2 and later: unknown – Sun DS 5.2 uses a different replication protocol. It’s not known if it can auto-detect and fallback. It does have a “legacy” replication mode that works with Sun/iPlanet DS 5.0 and 5.1, so that should work. • Netscape DS 4.x: There is a Legacy Replication Plug-in that must be configured and enabled. Additionally, Fedora DS can only act as a consumer for Legacy replication, so you can’t have a 4.x server as a consumer for a Fedora DS supplier. Finally, this mode is only intended to be used for migration purposes, not long term.
