Hey All,

I'm looking for a bit of direction around the best way to configure/setup an 
on-site cache &/or replica from an AD Server which will be uni-directional (AD 
-> IPA/slapd)

The master are multiple AD Servers located around the place, and we exist in a 
place which is outside of the core network and that network link is a single 
point of failure.

What I want to achieve is in the event we lose connectivity with the world 
users can still authenticate, but if someone is disabled/updated at the top 
level it replicates down. I've got a test AD Server & have been reviewing IPA, 
but have hit an issue in that I can't get software installed on the AD Masters 
for the 389 dir sync software.

Currently I've configured a synchronization based solution with one way 
replication from the AD Masters -> IPA. This works fine and I can see all the 
users being created in IPA - but as the passwords can't be synced without 
installing software I can't use this method.

Another nice thing would be to have a separate domain/tree available so we can 
split up the staff that are from the master servers and some client related 
user/passes that won't be in the Global Directory - but managed from the same 
place.

Are there any other setup's that will achieve what I require? Have seen slapd 
with proxy cache but I'm not sure on this options either and configuring slapd 
with all the ldif files manually seems a little daunting at first sight.

Thanks in advance,
David
