Question regarding the translucent overlay.
Say I wanted to create some entries locally that don't have corresponding remote entries. For example, if the base suffix is dc=foo,dc=bar, and the remote ldap server has, let's call them user entries at uid=myuser,dc=foo,dc=bar, and I wanted to locally create ou=group,dc=foo,dc=bar and put my own group entries in that, is this possible with translucent? Or maybe with a combination of overlays?
Ok, I know I can create local-only entries, but any search requests for them fail. Is this what ITS#5283 is supposed to accomplish, without going through the hassle of trying to build HEAD?
No. The translucent overlay is only intended to allow locally defined attributes to be associated with remote entries. If you want to create entire entries locally, you should look into subordinate glue instead.
