I don't think that iDS uses a standard LDAP call to update its replicas. It transfers more data, like changelognumber and credentials, between the both servers. This means that you can't use an, for example, OpenLdap server as a consumer for an iDS supplier. If it had used standard LDAP calls, you should have been able to use a LDAP server from any vendor as a consumer, which you can't. So you will not only need to emulate an iDS but also its Admin Server and the changelognumber transfering. If your application uses the LDAP server in a normal way (i.e. >95% of the requests are reads) I would write a plug-in that triggers on SLAPI_PLUGIN_POST_MODIFY_FN operation and write the modified data to a file. You could run that plug-in on a dedicated consumer and have a perl deamon poll for changes to that file. Just some thougths... /brother t0mas
