I'm using translucent in a local server. That same server also has an extra local database, which is a local only branch of the remote database. This database is a subordinate and they glue together well. Now, for the sake of management, i need to be able to identify to the local database (rootdn) but using credentials from the remote database. Assuming one has
translucent to remote - dc=example,dc=com with remote admin user cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com
local - ou=localbranch,dc=example,dc=com with rootdn admin user cn=admin,ou=localbranch,dc=example,dc=com
I tried the follwing on the local server
database hdb suffix "ou=localbranch,dc=example,dc=com" rootdn "cn=admin,ou=localbranch,dc=example,dc=com" rootpw "secret"
Have you tried
database hdb suffix "ou=localbranch,dc=example,dc=com" rootdn "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com"
? Where cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com is a valid object you can bind to. You cannot have rootpw here, because "The password can only be set if the rootdn is within the namingContext (suffix) of the database." man slapd.conf
