Re: slapd-meta

Your suggestion was correct, I needed to insert a valid RootDN/RootPW in the meta-DB to make it work. Surprisingly, the server did not give me an authentication error (this is why I could not understand where my mistake was residing), but after that it worked. Now the problem has moved toward a different issue... As I said in my previous posts, my idea was to put a meta-DB next to the actual hdb DB on the "dc=loc0,dc=root" slapd but, as far as I can understand, this is not possible or, at least, I was not able to find a working configuration. I tried to create a meta DB at the root of the DIT ("dc=root") and then to "mount" the local hdb subtree (simply creating the "dc=local0,dc=root" physical hdb) and the remote sub-trees under that; then I tried to do the opposite, creating an actual "(dc=local0,)dc=root" hdb and then "mount" the remote sub-trees using slapd-meta. None of them worked, I have always got an error stating that the "dc=root" base-DN already exists (I don't remember the exact error) when going to "step 2". Thus, from what I can understand, it is not possible to perform what I need. A possible solution could be to create a couple more servers just for the purpose to run the slapd-meta DB, "mounting" all of the four actual hdbs exposed by the other servers, and exposing these meta-servers to the clients. Are my discoveries correct? Is the last approach feasible/correct? Am I missing something? Thank you again for your and the rest of the mailing list people availability.
