Hello:
I'm looking to set up a few OpenLDAP servers as pure query-only proxies
(no update at this point) to our "other directory" servers we happen to
use in our environment. We'd like to keep the security settings we
currently have on these "other directory" servers that only allows users
with valid accounts on the said "other directory" server to query the
server. What would be the simplest, quickest configuration to achieve
this? Should I create a generic 'ldapuser' account on the "other
directory" server and use those credentials every time? Can I "pass" a
user's credentials as part of my proxy request?
I've read through the Admin Guide and the sample slapd.conf files, and
I'm a little stumped as to how to proceed - I only made it as far as
setting up the very basic proxy server.
current slapd.conf
----------------------------
database ldap
lastmod off
uri "ldap://ouradserver.ourdomain.com:389/DC=ourdomain,DC=com";
suffix "dc=ourdomain,dc=com"
Thanks for any tips and pointers,
--Mark
