Local root browsing for translucent proxy



Hello,

I have set a translucent proxy and things have been working rather well. I've been able to add/delete and modify local attributes authenticating with the local rootdn. All this has been done using openldap's command line tools. I now have the need to use a web based interface and so i installed phpldapadmin. To my surprise, i can login using the local rootdn but i'm not able to browse or search for any entry in that branch, although i have write access acls, besides the rootdn declaration.

the database definition is as follows:

--- snip ---

database        hdb
suffix              "dc=example,dc=com"
rootdn            cn=loadmin,dc=example,dc=com
rootpw           secret
directory        "/var/lib/ldap"
lastmod         on

access to attrs=userPassword,sambaNTPassword,krb5Key
                by dn.exact="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" write
                by dn.exact="cn=loadmin,dc=example,dc=com" write
                by dn.exact="cn=reader,dc=example,dc=com" read
                by self read
                by anonymous auth
                by * none

access to *
                by dn.exact="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" write
                by dn.exact="cn=loadmin,dc=example,dc=com" write
                by * read

index    sambaSID,sambaPrimaryGroupSID eq

overlay translucent
uri "ldap://ldapbackend.example.com";
acl-bind binddn="cn=reader,dc=example,dc=com" credentials="secret"
translucent_strict
translucent_remote    objectClass
translucent_local        sambaSID,sambaPrimaryGroupSID,sambaAcctFlags
overlay glue


--- snip ---


I seen no problem in the configuration, but do please point me out any misconfiguration that might be leading to this behaviour. Since i've been able to use the command line tools, i initially supposed it was a misconfiguration or even a bug in phpldapadmin, but i'm starting to consider the problem as limitiation for the translucent overlay. Should i consider this scenario also?

(I know i should be using runtime config already... Let us leave that to another occasion ;) )

Best regards,

Hugo Monteiro.
