Slapo-chain says that binds can't be chased -- "Any time a referral is returned
(except for bind operations), it chased by using an instance of the ldap backend."
Would some other method for authenticating users in LDAP be necessary (or better) for the
scenario I described?
Thanks,
Craig

I am seeking a solution to be able to bind to, and search more than
one tree and server per request using Linux. My goal is to maintain
separate groups of user accounts on an OpenLDAP server -- e.g. local
and network. The groups of users can have overlapping posixAccount
uid attributes, but will have unique uidNumber attributes. My main use
case is authentication, which requires checking a remote LDAP server
first -- currently AD which requires attribute re-mapping), then
network tree on the local LDAP (openldap) if not in remote server,
then the local tree on local server if not in the first tree. I have
tried referrals and rewrites, but nothing I've tried worked. It looks
like the creation of a custom overlay will work, but I'd rather not go
down that path. I have also tried using PAM, but pam_ldap is limited to one configuration
per service (modifying pam_ldap is an option at this point).
man slapo-chain(5).
