I would like to have something closer to what happens when using slurpd, which seems to be more transparent to clients. I tried to set "updatedn" but slapd complained that it is supported when using slurpd.
I'm not sure what you mean. You would get a referral using slurpd replication too,
It's true. I hadn't realised that, and I somehow when I tested that I got the wrong impression.
So, my questions are:
1. How do I get ldapmodify, ldapdelete, ... to follow referrals?
2. Will pam_ldap (when changing passwords) follow referrals?
You can of course force updates to the slave to chain up to the master so they get written to the correct place, see the test suite.
I believe you're talking about "overlay chain", I looked at the documentation but it seemed to be far more complex than what I want (I just want to nss_ldap/pam_ldap load balance the queries between the two machines.) I will try to see if referrals will work first, then I'll start going down that route.
