Re: Using Perl to replicate between Novell E-Directory and NetscapeDirectory Server

[Peter M. <pet...@ma...>]

Hi,

Meta compontnts won't help you with password replication.

They simply give a fromework to replicate data between=20
a central directory - the metadirecory - and other data resources
(directory servers, databases, csv files ;-) .....)

If these data resources or the meta directoriy don't give out the passwor=
d
(and no reasonable system should), then all those meta components=20
won't help at all.

Yours
Peter
