Hello all,
We have an installation of openldap like this: master <- slave <- translucent proxy. All the installation is on debian Jessie 8.2 with slapd version 2.4.40+dfsg-1+deb8u1.
When searching/binding with ldapsearch everything seems ok. I mean I have the results I expect.
We have an application called CAS to authenticate users on web appplications and there is where things start to be strange. When configuring CAS to communicate with the slave, there is no problem, users can authenticate without issue. But when CAS is configured to communicate with the translucent proxy, there is not possible for users to be authenticated.
I looked a different places, changed different parameters playing with ldap protocol, search reference responses, automatic referral chasing, ... but can't make it work.
In the logs I have this:
ldapsearch request: the output is ok

The configuration part relative to translucent:

I do not really know where to look else. I'll continue to try different things to make it work but any idea/suggestion/correction is welcome.
Thank you in advance for your time.
