Hi,
Let's say I have a database with base DN dc=parent. On a particular server, dc=parent is a read-only syncrepl slave.
On the same server, I have a separate read-write database, dc=child,dc=parent.
Could you paraphrase (e.g. similar to what I have below) your configuration for this?
Is there a way to make it so searches of dc=parent also search the database in dc=child,dc=parent?
Surely, it should already work?
I'm thinking a referral plus the chain overlay might do the trick, but I can't create a referral object with name "dc=child,dc=parent" within the dc=parent database because the server knows dc=child,dc=parent already exists (as the other database).
The chain overlay wouldn't be the right feature for this specific requirement, if 'subordinate' doesn't do what you want, back-meta might.
I get "Already exists (68)" from the server.
If you have:
database xxx suffix dc=child,dc=parent subordinate
[...]
databse xxx suffix dc=parent
[...]
then, subject to normal access rules, this should just work.
I figure I'm missing something simple, or doing something stupid.
It's a bit difficult to say, without knowing what you *are* doing.
