+<title>If you need high availability</title>
+<body>
+
+<p>
+If your environment requires high availability, then you need to setup
+replication of changes across multiple LDAP systems. Replication within OpenLDAP
+is, in this guide, set up using a specific replication account
+(<c>ldapreader</c>) which has read rights on the primary LDAP server and which
+pulls in changes from the primary LDAP server to the secundary.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This setup is then mirrored, allowing the secundary LDAP server to act as a
+primary. Thanks to OpenLDAP's internal structure, changes are not re-applied if
+they are already in the LDAP structure.
+</p>
+
+</body>
+</section>
+<section>
+<title>Setting Up Replication</title>
+<body>
+
+<p>
+To setup replication, first setup a second OpenLDAP server, similarly as above.
+However take care that, in the configuration file, 
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    the <e>sync replication provider</e> is pointing to the <e>other</e> system
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    the <e>serverID</e> of each OpenLDAP system is different
+  </li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Next, create the synchronisation account. We will create an LDIF file (the
+format used as data input for LDAP servers) and add it to each LDAP server:

 <title>Migrate existing data to ldap</title>
 <body>
 
 <p>
+Configuring OpenLDAP for centralized administration and management of common
+Linux/Unix items isn't easy, but thanks to some tools and scripts available on
+the Internet, migrating a system from a single-system administrative
+point-of-view towards an OpenLDAP-based, centralized managed system isn't hard
+either.
+</p>
+
+<p>
 Go to <uri
 link="http://www.padl.com/OSS/MigrationTools.html">http://www.padl.com/OSS/MigrationTools.html</uri>
-and fetch the scripts there. Configuration is stated on the page. We don't ship
-this anymore because the scripts are a potential security hole if you leave
-them on the system after porting. When you've finished migrating your data,
-continue to the next section.
+and fetch the scripts there. You'll need the migration tools and the
+<c>make_master.sh</c> script.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Next, extract the tools and copy the <c>make_master.sh</c> script inside the
+extracted location:
+</p>
+
+<pre caption="Extracting the MigrationTools">
+~# <i>mktemp -d</i>
+/tmp/tmp.zchomocO3Q
+~# <i>cd /tmp/tmp.zchomocO3Q</i>
+~# <i>tar xvzf /path/to/MigrationTools.tgz</i>
+~# <i>mv /path/to/make_master.sh MigrationTools-47</i>
+~# <i>cd MigrationTools-47</i>
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+The next step now is to migrate the information of your system to OpenLDAP. The
+<c>make_master.sh</c> script will do this for you, after you have provided it
+with the information regarding your LDAP structure and environment.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+At the time of writing, the tools require the following input:
+</p>
+
+<table>
+<tr>
+  <th>Input</th>
+  <th>Description</th>
+  <th>Example</th>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+  <ti>LDAP BaseDN</ti>
+  <ti>The base location (root) of your tree</ti>
+  <ti>dc=genfic,dc=com</ti>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+  <ti>Mail domain</ti>
+  <ti>Domain used in e-mail addresses</ti>
+  <ti>genfic.com</ti>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+  <ti>Mail host</ti>
+  <ti>FQDN of your mail server infrastructure</ti>
+  <ti>smtp.genfic.com</ti>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+  <ti>LDAP Root DN</ti>
+  <ti>Administrative account information for your LDAP structure</ti>
+  <ti>cn=Manager,dc=genfic,dc=com</ti>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+  <ti>LDAP Root Password</ti>
+  <ti>
+    Password for the administrative account, cfr earlier <c>slappasswd</c>
+    command
+  </ti>
+  <ti></ti>
+</tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>
+The tool will also ask you which accounts and settings you want to migrate.

 If you noticed one of the lines you pasted into your <path>/etc/ldap.conf</path>
 was commented out (the <c>rootbinddn</c> line): you don't need it unless you
 want to change a user's password as superuser. In this case you need to echo
 the root password to <path>/etc/ldap.secret</path> in plaintext. This is

-and <path>/etc/passwd</path> I put the pass in there for 10 seconds while I
-change it and remove it when I'm done.
