Hi,
I had bought a german book (OpenLDAP 2.4 - Das Praxisbuch) and could successfully setup a delta-sync replication. Now I read about the ability to add the overlay chain on the consumer side to automatically redircet write rquests for the consumer to the provider.
I am using an online configuration and I am not able to find answers how to add this overlay.
Some information you may find here: man slapo-chain(5) http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/overlays.html#Chaining
I am using Ubuntu, which has built openldap with module-support. So I have already added the back_ldap.la module.
Two questions I can not get answers:
1.) Do I need to add the overlay to the thb-backend or to the frontend?
This depends :-) But in most cases the overlays are an extension to a specific database declaration
2.) Could please somebody point me to the corresponting objectClasses that need to be added and the required attributes?
The book lists the follwing:
overlay chain chain-uri ldap://foo/ chain-idassert-bind bindmethod=simple binddn="..." credentials="..." mode=self flags=non-prescriptive chain-rebind-as-user true chain-return-error true
I can not find the olcXYZ options.
You are requesting information on the config database i presume. The relevant objectclass is olcChainConfig.
