database glue with 2.3.4 [auf Viren überprüft]

[Hans Moser <hans.moser@ofd-sth.niedersachsen.de>]

Hi!

2.3's man slapd.conf tell nothing about "subordinate" databases.
If it's in slapd.conf, it's ignored.
[It would be desirable to a have clear hint, that it is not working 
anymore, when "subordinate" exists in slapd.conf - i.e. while updating 
from 2.2. to 2.3!]

I found the faq-o-matic entry to the glue-overlay.
-> http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/1195.html

It does not help me much...
man slapo-glue(5) is also not quiet exploratory.

While 2.2. (just) only needs a "subordinate" entry, which is explained 
in man slapd.conf(5), 2.3. needs a - not yet well explained - overlay 
configuration, this information lack should be closed. Glueing database 
is a IMHO somewhat basic function to openldap.

Could someone please send a short configuration example for the 
overlay-glue?
[and post it to the faq-o-matic as well...]
