Hello I have the following situation and would like to know your opinion on the matter:
I have 2 slapd servers A and B, both require simple authentication and are not open for anonymous access. What I would like to do is setup a node on A that would reference the root of B and would allow me to perform read/write to it. I tried so far: 1. Setup a "referral" objectClass on A in the following manner: dn: dc=B,ou=Subservers,dc=example,dc=com dc: B objectClass: referral objectClass: extensibleObject ref: ldap://B/dc=example,dc=com That didnt work since B requires authentication. So I tried this: dn: dc=B,ou=Subservers,dc=example,dc=com dc: B objectClass: referral objectClass: extensibleObject ref: ldap://??B??!bindname=cn=Manager%2cdc=example%2cdc=com/dc=example,dc=com Didnt work either (authentication extension not supported ?). 2. slapd apparently supports an "ldap" backend/database. Problem is that there is no real documentation here<http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconf2.html>or here <http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconfig.html> on how to set them up. Anybody ever setup such a database/backend ? does it support authentication ? any examples I can take a look at ? I dont want to replication B on A, I just want to act as a proxy. Or
