Whats the difference between Enterprise IPA and Red Hat Directory Server, aren they both identity solutions?
IPA is not designed as a general purpose Directory. It’s focus is as a simple to use easy to manage centralized Identity, Policy and Audit solution. Because of this focus it is intentionally less flexible than Red Hat Directory Server. Attempting to replicate between an IPA server and a custom configured DS could cause problems due to plugin, schema or configuration differences.
