PADL libraries handling of update referrals



Hello,

            We’ve been testing out ldap replication and seem to have it working fine.

 

            However we’ve run into what seems to be a problem with clients. In trying to update a password for an account from an LDAP client, it looks like the update works if we point the client at the master, but fails if we point the client at the slave.

 

            The “client” is the unix passwd command that has been configured to use the PADL pam and nss libraries. Logins queries and everything read oriented work perfectly, but it looks like the client is choking on the referral from the slave.

 

            Do the PADL libraries follow referrals? If not, is there a parameter we can put in the pam configuration to direct it to the master instead of the slave? We’d like to have queries go to the replication points, while updates get passed up to the master – is there another way to do this?

 

            Thanks,

            Steve
