Integrate multiple LDAP user data into one LDAP

I want to integrate mutiple LDAP (AD, OpenDS, OpenLDAP etc) user data into one LDAP (OpenDS). Is there any tool which does it? Also, I need my LDAP to be in sync with all other LDAPs so that any change in user info will be reflected in my LDAP as well.

If there isn't a tool for it, can it be achieved through coding? I am new to LDAP and any guidance will be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • This is what most Metadirectory tools are designed to do.

    There are two approaches.

    1) Sync all data and changes from all the various sources into a central LDAP repository. The Metadirectory itself.

    2) Federate or have some kind of proxy that allows a consolidated view. Often these are called Virtual Directories.
