Re: Bind with alternative DN pattern

Hi, I have trouble understanding a rather simple LDAP config issue that I'm sure someone on this list can easily help with: How do I add a (or change the) pattern of the bind DN that slapd lets me authenticate with? I have a working slapd setup that I can happily bind to using DNs of the form "cn=Bob Parr,dc=example,dc=com". However, all accounts also have a unique "uid" attribute that I would like to use in addition to (or, if not possible, instead of) the "cn"-based RDN for binding. So, I'd like to (also) bind using the DN "uid=bob,dc=example,dc=com". My understanding is that one entry can have several DNs as long as each one is unambiguous. Shouldn't I be able to bind with anyone of these? I have spent hours on searching for documentation on this and turned up surprisingly little. The problem is not an ACL issue since the logged error when trying a "uid"-based bind is "DB_NOTFOUND: No matching key/data pair found" rather than anything else... I'd be _very_ grateful for any pointers on this... Cheers, Mathias
