Hi,

   Ok, i understand that the problem is authorization, but when i supress the back-ldap proxy from my scenario it works.
I am going to give more details.

First Scenario:
---------------------

A delta syncrepl server replicating from the first server of a mirror.

IPs: delta syncrepl (192.168.1.5), mirror server 1 (192.168.1.10), mirror server 2 (192.168.1.20)

In the mirror servers we have set the attribute authzTo for the replicator dn:

ldapsearch -x -b 'cn=replicator,dc=example,dc=com' -H ldap://mirror1:389 -D 'cn=Administrator,dc=example,dc=com' -w secret authzTo

# replicator, example.com
dn: cn=replicator,dc=example,dc=com
authzTo: ldap:///dc=example,dc=com??sub?(objectClass=person)


When we launch the following modification through the replica:
ldapmodify -x -H ldap://replica:389 -f pass1_user.ldif -D 'uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com' -W
Enter LDAP Password:
modifying entry "uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"

In the mirror server we get:

ldap-mirror1[2649]: conn=1002 op=2 PROXYAUTHZ dn="uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"
ldap-mirror1[2649]: conn=1002 op=2 MOD dn="uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"
ldap-mirror1[2649]: conn=1002 op=2 MOD attr=userPassword
ldap-mirror1[2649]: conn=1002 op=2 RESULT tag=103 err=0 text=

Therefore modifying through the replica server is possible with the chaining configuration.

Second sceneario
--------------------------
The problem appears when we introduce the back-ldap proxy server to set the high availability feature that provides the mirror mode.

IPs:
-----
192.168.1.5 -> delta syncrepl
192.168.1.10 -> Back-ldap proxy
192.168.1.20 -> Mirror mode server 1  
192.168.1.30 -> Mirror mode server 2



back-ldap proxy slapd.conf:

database        ldap
suffix          "dc=example,dc=com"
uri             "ldap://mirror1:389 ldap://mirror2:389"
rootdn          "cn=Administrator,dc=example,dc=com"

overlay ppolicy


Launching the modification to the proxy, it works:

ldapmodify -x -H ldap://proxy:389 -f pass1_user.ldif -D 'uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com' -W
Enter LDAP Password:
modifying entry "uid=udg77530,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"

The /var/log/messages of proxy and mirror shows the following:

ldap-proxy[4051]: conn=1000 fd=8 ACCEPT from IP=192.168.1.5:42921 (IP=192.168.1.10:389)

ldap-mirror1[3438]: conn=1016 fd=20 closed
ldap-proxy[4051]: conn=1000 fd=8 closed


But when the modification is made through the replica server we get the error:


ldapmodify -x -H ldap://replica:389 -f pass1_user.ldif -D 'uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com' -W
Enter LDAP Password:

Thank you for your help.

Sorry, I take the last sentence back: mapping a DN to nothing means there
was nothing to map.  The failure is just later, where (pretty
self-explanatory):

the entry "cn=replicator,dc=example,dc=com" does not have the right to
assume the identity of "uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com".

This is correct.  Also, the error may depend on the value of the
authzTo/authzFrom attributes of the identities involved in the mapping.

As clearly stated in slapd-ldap man page about idassert:

                             [snip]  Other identity assertion modes
   are anonymous and self, which respectively mean that  the  empty
   or  the  client&#8217;s  identity  will be asserted; [snip]
                                         For all modes that require
   the use of the proxyAuthz control,  on  the  remote  server  the
   proxy identity must have appropriate authzTo permissions, or the
   asserted identities must have appropriate authzFrom permissions.
