I am trying to setup a ldap backend which is a filtered view of another larger parent directory, with respect to exposing fewer object classes and attributes.

The intent is to present a simpler view of the larger directory, and the config below works, except for when i uncomment the line containing "rwm-map attribute *", to hide the attributes i do not want visible, but after that it stops returning any entries at all for any query. So may be there is some important openldap attribute i am nuking ?

The below config works, until the "rwm-map attribute *" line is uncommented, the ldap backend stops returning any entries. Pierangelo Masarati on the list stated :

<quote> Yes, I fear that's hiding the objectClass attribute, which is required for internal operations. On the other hand, you can't simply tell back-ldap to preserve that attribute, because mapping objectClass is not allowed. I suggest you file an ITS so that this problem can be fixed. </quote>

I have tried mapping the "rwm-map attribute objectClass *", and as Perangelo states, the error is "objectclass attribute cannot be mapped". If this is true, then the usability of rwm-map attribute is extremely compromised, and probably unusable?

The structure of the parent directory is :

c=AU o=My Org 1 ou=My Unit 1 o=My Org 2 ou=My Unit 2

Config is :

database ldap suffix "c=AU" uri "ldap://<parent ip>:<parent port>/" overlay rwm lastmod off

# attribute maps (ok except for final "rwm-map attribute *" map) rwm-map attribute cn * rwm-map attribute sn * rwm-map attribute mail * rwm-map attribute c * rwm-map attribute o * rwm-map attribute ou *

# does not like this, it stops any entries being returned #rwm-map attribute *

# objectclass maps (ok) rwm-map objectclass top * rwm-map objectclass country * rwm-map objectclass organization * rwm-map objectclass organizationalRole * rwm-map objectclass organizationalPerson * rwm-map objectclass organizationalUnit * rwm-map objectclass *
