Greetings,
i would like to use multiple OpenLDAP Server with Samba. As Samba uses only one database server, i considered it would be suitable to use a ldap proxy in front of my master and my slaves servers. I tried it with the proxycache overlay, but after some testing and combing the internet for information it seems this does not work for write-request.
Is this information correct? And if it is, are there some alternatives?
The proxycache overlay is designed to keep a local cache of requests (searches and binds if I recall correctly) to a distant LDAP server.
A caching proxy would be a nice feature, but i considered it as an optional feature.
If you just want an LDAP proxy with multiple backends, take a look at the meta and ldap backends:
I already tried a ldap backend (slapd-ldap) with pcache overlay, but i will definitly take a look at slapd-meta. Thank you for your help.
