Hi,

I need a pointer please. I need to configure an LDAP server that presents (only read!) data from a mysql database. I have found some nice article for ndb configuration but I think that's not what I need, because this scenario is bi-directional, i.e. It assumes a clean mysql database and r/w access via LDAP that uses mysql as backend per say. What I want to do is to treat LDAP just as an "interface" to mysql database (or even one table). Can anybody point me to a good direction of reading?

The source code provides some information servers/slapd/back-sql/rdbms_depend/mysql servers/slapd/back-sql/docs/

Assuming you are otherwise familiar with OpenLDAP, I would start with: -man slapd-sql -see the contents of servers/slapd/back-sql/rdbms_depend/mysql in the source tarball -see tests/scripts/sql-* in the source tarball

If not, you should probably read through at lest the quick start part of the admin guide before you get on to the back-sql bits.

ro or rw is purely up to access controls (on the database user as which OpenLDAP access the mysql db).
