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.

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?

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.

So, I thank you really very much for any help. :-)
