What are glue entries and how do they work in OpenLDAP? The manageDSAit code in back-bdb is intertwined with is_entry_glue() calls which I don't know what to make of. The only glue I can see bdb create seems to be a fake entry named "" if that is the database suffix. And I don't see any mention of glue entries in other backends.
"glue" entries are mostly used in shadow databases that consist in partial replicas. Basically, in slapd/syncrepl.c.
