Re: backend relay with empty suffix

[Nikos Voutsinas <nvoutsin@noc.uoa.gr>]

Let me refer to the following case, hoping that this will help to spot
all possible side effects resulted from the usage of empty suffixes.

Using a configuration like the one below, searches for
attr=hasSubordinates against the ldap backend as 'uid=<uid>,ou=People',
fail because searchDN is rewritten to:

[rw] searchDN: "ou=People" -> "ou=People,dc=contacts,dc=uoa,dc=gr"


database        bdb
suffix          "dc=contacts,dc=foo,dc=bar"
.....
.....
database                ldap
suffix                  "ou=People"
overlay                 rwm
rwm-suffixmassage       "ou=People,dc=foo,dc=bar"
uri                     "ldap://server.foo.bar";
......
......
database        relay
suffix          ""
relay           "dc=contacts,dc=foo,dc=bar" massage
