Hi Trustin,My interest in creating the patch is a custom partition that proxies to an external LDAP server. Hence I want to use the proxied server's authentication if the DN presented to the bind() matches the proxy partition's suffix and otherwise authenticate against ApacheDS's user store.Note that the custom proxy partition additionally has some credentials stored locally, which it uses to discover the remote LDAP schema and add matching entries to the GlobalRegistries at server start-up time. Hence the intention behind the patch is to allow access to the remote proxy partition without having to duplicate all of its users inside ApacheDS.Having said that, the only reason that I touched the interceptor code was by necessity as ContextPartition was impacted by the addition of the bind() method (and wanted to dispatch to it using the ContextPartitionNexus). I'm not that familiar with the code yet, so please let me know if I changed more then I needed to.As I've mentioned to Alex in a previous posting; I'd imagine that ultimately the core server might delegate a number of services to custom partitions (authentication, schema (rather then a single top-level static schema have one under each partition that has its own) etc). Hence although I know this patch is only a small isolated step in that direction, it may be useful to anyone else implementing a proxying custom partition.Thanks
