I'm trying to reconfigure my existing OpenLDAP server to expose personal information under multiple attributes. I'm doing this so that both Apple's contact application and my custom software will work. I've read about rwm-map in slapo-rwm, but although it makes the new attribute accessible, it hides the old one. I need both the new and old to be accessible.

For example: I have an existing attribute for a cellular phone number "cellPhone". I want to make this accessible under both the attributes "cellPhone" and "mobile"

Is this possible with OpenLDAP?

either include the evolution.schema or create your own schema and define mobileTelephoneNumber superior to cellPhone.

That seems to work only so far as searching for the attribute "mobile" will return the attribute "cellPhone". I need it to return the data in the attribute "cellPhone" as the attribute "mobile".

Thanks Russell Harmon

1. fix your custom software to use configurable schema, and configure it to

use the same as Apple's.

or

2. use back-relay, and point your software at one database and the Apple

software at the other database, and rewrite as appropriate for each app.

Thanks Howard! I'm going with 2 because re-writing the custom software I have just isn't an option.

When I set up the ldap server with a virtual view via slapd-relay and slapo-rwm and run a query against it, I get back no data! Do you know why?

Here's my slapd.conf config for the virtual view: database relay suffix "dc=virtual" relay "ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com" overlay rwm rwm-suffixmassage "ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com"

When I run a query against it however, it succeeds but returns no data!

Here's some relevant logs: SRCH "dc=virtual" 1 0 0 0 0 filter: (uid=username) attrs:
