Hello.

I am new to this list so please forgive any protocol violations :)

I am starting with simple steps towards our goal to use the openldap server translucent overlay config to merge AD authentication for people at our company with local ldap account authentication for non-company people.

I am using openldap 2.4.23 on RHEL6 server.

At this point, the ldap server can access our AD servers with anonymous bind but I need authenticated access to get more information.

I have been using variations of the "Identity Assertion" steps from the openldap FAQ page (http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/532.html) without success.

I am initially trying the simplest config e.g. bindmethod=simple with a valid AD account/password for this access.

I have included my current minimalist slapd.conf file if of any help.

If anyone can point me to sample working configuration file(s) or provide any recommendations, I would appreciate it.

thanks, John.
