I implemented desired functionality minus translucency by having the following database clauses -- (I can create entities within the ou=groups and searches against the ou=Users are results from remote LDAP.
database bdb suffix "dc=dept,dc=example,dc=org"
database meta suffix "dc=example,dc=org"
uri "ldap://remoteldap.example.org/ou=people,dc=example,dc=org" uri "ldap://localhost/ou=groups,dc=dept,dc=example,dc="
It's probably bad form to reply to my own query, but maybe someone has experience with this?:
Given the meta directory proposed above, what would be the best way to add translucency as as well?
Thanks for any advice, Eugene
