Hi everyone,
I have a particular setup and I need your help.

I have a Slapd 2.5 running in a debian virtual machine. This ldap server has 
its own tree, dc=example,dc=com.

I need this slapd server to forward the authentication requests for two domains 
other than its own, for example

dc=example2,dc=com towards -> 192.168.1.1
dc=example3,dc=com towards -> 192.168.2.1

I read in the documentation that it is possible to do this forward but I can't 
modify the configuration using ldapmodify.

Can you help me ?
Thanks
Willy

Re: Transitioning from slapd.conf to slapd.d, best practices for maintaining configuration comments?

Hi,

We decided to continue using the (old) slapd.conf file, and rely on our
openldap MMR-cluster to keep the LDAP service up, while individual
servers are restarted.

Since the our 2.5 MMR setup is behind a load balancer, clients don't
notice individual backend servers going down and coming up again.

We just love the simplicity of the config file(and various includes that
we do) and also like the inline comments.

We configure ldap through ansible scripts.
