Thanks Howard! I'm going with 2 because re-writing the custom software
I have just isn't an option.
When I set up the ldap server with a virtual view via slapd-relay and
slapo-rwm and run a query against it, I get back no data! Do you know
why?
Here's my slapd.conf config for the virtual view:
database relay
suffix "dc=virtual"
relay "ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com"
overlay rwm
rwm-suffixmassage "ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com"
When I run a query against it however, it succeeds but returns no data!
Here's some relevant logs:
SRCH "dc=virtual" 1 0
0 0 0
filter: (uid=username)
attrs:
conn=1011 op=4 SRCH base="dc=virtual" scope=1 deref=0 filter="(uid=username)"
[rw] searchDN: "dc=virtual" -> "ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com"
bdb_idl_fetch_key: [b49d1940]
bdb_idl_fetch_key: [20acdc7e]
[rw] searchEntryDN: "uid=username,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com" ->
