I'm trying to get a consumer server to forward ppolicy-related updates to its provider server, and to use certificate-based authentication (SASL EXTERNAL) over STARTTLS when authenticating to the provider.

I'm running into multiple problems here. The core problem seems to be that enabling ppolicy_forward_updates breaks the chaining overlay such that it binds anonymously instead of with SASL EXTERNAL. Another problem is that bind operations to the consumer server start to return two result messages -- one with the error code of the chained operation, and one with the error code of the bind operation.

To simplify reproducing the problem, I've worked with test022-ppolicy in the openldap test framework. Here, I ran into another issue. I can't seem to be able to configure sasl external/starttls chaining properly with the cn=config style configuration that test022-ppolicy applies. The self-signed cert that I'm using works fine with replication, but it doesn't seem to work with chaining. This may or may not be another issue that needs to be resolved.

In any case, with the attached files in the ITS, I hope that what I'm trying to do and the results that I'm getting should be as clear as possible.
