Good afternoon! The task was as follows: there is an openldap database (OS centos 7) with a bunch of entries, a phone book and other useful things. We use it for authorization on various services of the company. We set the task to make a domain controller on windows 2012R2 and connect the existing openldap database there. Actually I could connect to openldap for viewing through the ADSI tool. Actually the question is how to implement this integration? For a domain controller to read and write entries in openldap?

The controller has its own LDAP server, it is enough to culturally configure access rights and read data from it. What is the function of OpenLDAP in this bundle? And what do you want to write to the controller?

Transfer information from OpenLDAP to AD, as Peter Ivanov advised

Nothing will work. Yes, AD is LDAP. All LDAP tools work on it, ldapsearch for example. But it's a twisted LDAP that's not compatible with anything but itself. It can read data from OpenLDAP, maybe somehow it will be. He will not be able to write there, because he expects AD there, and not AD there. The only way to save data is to migrate it to AD. Or do you have some very non-standard scheme there?
