Re: rwm + cn=config

Hi,

I got it working :

overlay rwm MUST be declared before "database config" in slapd.conf, then it will be placed in "olcDatabase={-1}frontend" when converting with "slaptest -f slapd.conf -F slapd.d"

Of course since you omitted that part of the slapd.conf you posted, nobody on the mailing list could have known this was relevant to your problem.

And for such global config items, you can eliminate all uncertainty by simply using "database frontend" to hold these overlays.

Hello,

I use the rwm overlay to forward the authentication of some users to the
general ldap replicas of my corp.

Part of slapd.conf :

###########################
...
overlay rwm
rwm-rewriteEngine       on
rwm-rewriteContext      bindDN
rwm-rewriteMap          ldap mysearch
"ldap://ldap.example.com:389/ou=users,dc=example,dc=com?dn?sub
<http://ldap.example.com:389/ou=users,dc=example,dc=com?dn?sub>"
rwm-rewriteRule "^uid=([^,]+),ou=people,dc=[^,]+,dc=example,dc=com$"
"${mysearch((&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=$1)))}" ":@I"

database                ldap
suffix "ou=users,dc=example,dc=com"
uri "ldap://ldap.example.com:389/ <http://ldap.example.com:389/>"
restrict                read write extended

database                bdb
suffix "dc=example,dc=com"
rootdn "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com"
rootpw                  mypassword
directory               /var/db/openldap-data/mydb
...
############################

Now I converted the 'slapd.conf' to 'cn=config' with slaptest, the remote
authentication stopped working;
and looking at cn=config, all the rules are there...

Any Ideas ?
