Dear listmember, I experience some problems getting an openldap proxy up and running.
Currently I do have three ldap instances (a,b,c). Only on "a" modifications are possible, no user access allowed. "b" and "c" are replicas (done with syncrepl) of "a" and read-only user access is allowed there. After reading the openldap admin guide Iam not sure if it is possible to have openldap proxy configured in way, that it is spreading the load to multiple ldaps containing the same data (and pointing to the same suffix) in a way of loadbalancing (weighted round robin?). I learned that this should be possible for different suffixes, but is it true for the same suffix too? I want the proxy(ies) to point equally to "b" and "c" for the same data in a round robin setup (may be even capable of detecting dead instances for failover reasons). Also, if I try to startup the proxy, I keep getting backend_startup_one: starting "o=mysuffix" which is repeated serveral hundred of times and results in a segmentation fault. My proxysetup is very simple: database ldap directory /home/ldap suffix "o=mysuffix" rootdn "o=mysuffix" uri "ldap://ldap.in.my.domain/"; overlay pcache The directory exists and is writeable, ldap backend and overlay pcache has been compiled in and the ldap-host is accessible and up/running. Version 2.3.20 is in use. I would very much appreciate, if someone could shed some light on these two questions. Thanks alot in advance! Regards, Daniel
