Re: Retrieving single schema attribute from Oracle backend

Hi

I am new in OpenLDAP so I would appreciate if you can help me with below questions.

1. Once a schema is built on LDAP server (no backend DB), is it possible to fetch only  a single

attribute of the schema

from an external  Oracle DB and the rest of sttributes from LDAP server itself?

What is required to fulfill it? (i.e. Configuration example????)

OpenLDAP provides a sql backend, see servers/slapd/back-sql/rdbms_depend/ for examples.

2. Can Open LDAP server fetch different schema attributes from different external DB by configuration?

In principal yes

Or does it require another box fulfilling proxy functionality?

This might be an other option.

But you cannot create an object from different sources. That is you cannot integrate attributs from different source into a single entry presentation. LDAP is *not* RDBM.
