- Thread-topic: Can I reuse the back-ldap in my own overlay?
I want to write a overlay "DirectForwarding" that does not do the LDAP
request in local back-bdb, but intercepts the request and forwards it to
a remote DSA.
I know that back-ldap in chain overlay does the same work by initiating
the same request to the remote DSA appeared in the referral entry.
So is it possible to reuse back-ldap in my overlay "DirectForwarding"?
If yes, what fields of struct SlapReply should be set to simulate what
back-bdb does?
Below is example code:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------
static slap_overinst DirectForwarding;
static int DirectForwarding_search(
Operation *op,
SlapReply *rs
)
{
/* ... */
ldap_back_search(op,rs);
/* ... */
send_ldap_result( op, rs );
return 0;
}
int DirectForwarding_initialize() {
/* statically declared just after the #includes at top */
DirectForwarding.on_bi.bi_type = "DirectForwarding";
/*... Other opeartion functions are ignored here */
DirectForwarding.on_bi.bi_op_search = DirectForwarding_search;
return(overlay_register(&DirectForwarding));
}
