Hi,
I have several backend databases on my master servers, and need to present a combined view to clients on slaves (Unix authentication) I think this a common question/issue...
Scenario: 5 backend DB's, 2 of these are needed on each slave server Each of these has an ou=Groups,ou=Nodes, ou=People etc.
--- dc=common,dc=example,dc=org --- dc=shared,dc=example,dc=org --- dc=companyA,dc=example,dc=org --- dc=companyB,dc=example,dc=org --- dc=companyC,dc=example,dc=org
So one of the slaves uses companyA, common and shared another one uses companyB, commmon and shared and the last one companyC, common and shared
all slaves represent this as "dc=example,dc=org"
The easiest way seems using meta backend, but I've the feeling this has drawbacks??? You can't use cn=config, performance?
Maybe there is an approach with chain or glue? I can change my DIT if necessary.
Sincerely, Pieter
