That would depend on whether the two servers had identical namespaces
(tree layout, choice of RDN etc).
I have a similar requirement at the moment except that I only want to
use the second LDAP server to authenticate for a small proportion of the
entries in the first one. The namespaces are very different. I think
it can be done with a combination of rwm, back-ldap/back-meta and
slapd-relay, but this seems rather complex when all I really need is
'pass-through authentication'.
I will report back to the list if I come up with a workable solution,
but in the mean time does anyone have any pointers to a neat way of
doing this?
