Heya,
In order to enable write chaining, I used the normal mechanism of using a slapd.conf file to generate the necessary slapd.d configuration that I'm now using to seed the servers that I'm building.
Out of interest - why do I need the two separate overlays (shown bellow) in the final config? Trying to understand what's actually happening and can't quite make sense of why this is defined like this.
dn: olcDatabase={0}ldap,olcOverlay={0}chain,olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config objectClass: olcLDAPConfig objectClass: olcChainDatabase olcDatabase: {0}ldap olcDbStartTLS: start starttls=yes olcDbRebindAsUser: FALSE olcDbChaseReferrals: TRUE olcDbTFSupport: no olcDbProxyWhoAmI: FALSE olcDbProtocolVersion: 3 olcDbSingleConn: FALSE olcDbCancel: abandon olcDbUseTemporaryConn: FALSE olcDbConnectionPoolMax: 16 olcDbSessionTrackingRequest: FALSE olcDbNoRefs: FALSE olcDbNoUndefFilter: FALSE olcDbOnErr: continue olcDbKeepalive: 0:0:0
dn: olcDatabase={1}ldap,olcOverlay={0}chain,olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config objectClass: olcLDAPConfig objectClass: olcChainDatabase olcDatabase: {1}ldap olcDbURI: "ldap://*ldapserver*/" olcDbStartTLS: start starttls=yes olcDbIDAssertBind: mode=self flags=prescriptive,proxy-authz-non-critical bindmethod=simple timeout=0 network-timeout=0 binddn="*binddn*" credentials="*cred*" keepalive=0:0:0 starttls=yes tls_cacert="/etc/openldap/certs/CA.crt" tls_reqcert=demand olcDbRebindAsUser: TRUE olcDbChaseReferrals: TRUE olcDbTFSupport: no olcDbProxyWhoAmI: FALSE olcDbProtocolVersion: 3 olcDbSingleConn: FALSE olcDbCancel: abandon olcDbUseTemporaryConn: FALSE olcDbConnectionPoolMax: 16 olcDbSessionTrackingRequest: FALSE olcDbNoRefs: FALSE olcDbNoUndefFilter: FALSE olcDbOnErr: continue olcDbKeepalive: 0:0:0
Thanks in advance,
