I have recently had to sync accounts and groups from Activc Directory to OpenLDAP, for a requirement for a directory server in the DMZ. A DMZ (De-millitarised zone) is an area of the network open to the internet. It’s supposed to be separate from the rest of your LAN, so you can have services running on the internet without fear that people can break into your LAN from these. There are other options for doing this, including a read-only domain controller (RODC), a AD LDS (Lighweight Directory Server) and so on, but they all require connectivity back from the DMZ to the LAN, which is precisely what we are trying to avoid.
