See: slapo-rwm - rewrite/remap overlay slapd-ldap - LDAP backend to slapd man slapo-rwm man slapd-ldap slapo-rwm can be used to rewrite/map the naming contexts, and slapd-ldap can be used to authenticate local users to the remote Directory. > > If this is a RTFM question, please excuse me asking, but I'm not very > familiar with openldap > > By the way, we're planing to upgrade the server to a later version of > the operating system, so answers for openldap 2.3.27 would be helpful > too.
