slapd-meta question

[danz@wustl.edu]

We have a scenario that Iâm hoping
OpenLDAP can offer a solution to.

We are in the process of transitioning
from one ldap authentication source to another for several of our applications.
 During the transition we need to be able to authenticate users against
one of two different ldap services.  Unfortunately our applications
do not support the capability to try authentication against multiple services.

Would an OpenLDAP setup be able to take
the authentication request and attempt to validate it against 2 different
backends?

I should note that each of the ldap
backends would have different OU structures and that a given userID would
not exist in both backends.  Based on the slapd-meta man page SCENARIOS
section it looks as though this may be possible.  The examples don't
illustrate whether or not the OU structures need to be the same between
the backends. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Dan
