Hello,
I have two suffixes with two bdb backends, in the first suffix you find
internal and in the second suffix you find external users.
Is there a solution that every uid of each person is unique in both
trees together?
In slapd.conf.5 it is described, that every subtree needs a directive to
use overlay unique ".. to enforce the uniqueness of some or all
attributes within a subtree.".
I'm running openldap version 2.3.41.
Best regards
Andreas

Is there a reason for this strict distinction?
You could glue the suffixes together under a common suffix if it does
not violate your security requirements and place slapo-unique there.
Ciao, Michael.

Presumably, the two suffix values are known in advance as constants.
Therefore it should be fairly trivial to write ACLs along the lines of:
access to dn.subtree="ou=Area1,dc=suffix" [mostlyAllow]
access to dn.subtree="ou=Area2,dc=suffix" [mostlyAllow]
access to dn.subtree="dc=suffix" [mostlyDeny]
which should allow slapo-unique to be used (under access internal to
slapd) while not granting additional access to the external world.

Yes,
there are different reasons for this strict distinction. Especially for
security reasons.
I think I have to choose the same naming context for both suffixes, if I
would create a meta database and put slapo-unique there.
Is it an alternative? If it is, could I create a meta database with
different naming contexts?
