Re: Redirect bind requests to another server

Hello,
we have a web application that autenticates via openldap. Now a second
hospital should use this same application, but they have their own
autentication server, active directory in this case.
In our network the users authenticate giving their username ( amoroder
in my case ) and password. Is it possible to configure openldap to
redirect the bind request to the remote server when the username
contains an extension like jsmith@remote ? Does this work with AD as
second/remote authentication server ?
What you are requesting is some sort of X.500 DAP services plus the
service of a virtual directory. This could partly be achieved with
OpenLDAP, it would be easier to put a virtual directory in front of
OpenLDAP and AD and have all users to authenticate against the virtual
directory[1].
