Now, for the sake of management, i need to be able to identify to the local database (rootdn) but using credentials from the remote database.Assuming one has translucent to remote - dc=example,dc=com with remote admin user cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com local - ou=localbranch,dc=example,dc=com with rootdn admin user cn=admin,ou=localbranch,dc=example,dc=com I tried the follwing on the local server database hdb suffix "ou=localbranch,dc=example,dc=com" rootdn "cn=admin,ou=localbranch,dc=example,dc=com" rootpw "secret"Have you tried
Now i have. :)
database hdb suffix "ou=localbranch,dc=example,dc=com" rootdn "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" ? Where cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com is a valid object you can bind to.You cannot have rootpw here, because "The password can only be set if the rootdn is within the namingContext (suffix) of the database." man slapd.confMarc
Yes, i read about the naming context restrictions and wrongfully understood that it would apply to the rootdn/rootpw pair. Your suggestion did the trick. And it was so simple i can't help feeling a bit of shame..
