question about the meta backend

[Cory.Bestgen@courts.mo.gov]

Hi, I have a question about using the meta backend to join two or more
directories when whey have the same structure.
Take for example to directories that have both have group named "group1"
and after suffixmassage they will both have
the same dn.

dir1
objectclass=groupOfNames
dn="cn=group1,ou=groups,ou=osca,dc=mycompany,dc=com"

dir2
objectclass=groupOfNames
dn="cn=group1,ou=groups,ou=osca,dc=mycompany,dc=org"

What does openldap do when this situation arises? Does it just use the one
from the first
directory that it was found? Can it be told to merge all of the objects
with the same dn
into one object containing the attributes of all?


thanks for any help
