Hi,
I’ve configured a META database to proxy two LDAP directories. Each of those LDAP directories is in turn a proxy for an Active Directory. My intention was to use the meta directory as a single point for user authentication, however, the vendor application
does not allow one to use the OpenLDAP meta directory. Their LDAP authentication setup wizard performs a verification of the specified baseDN, i.e. the root DN (suffix) of the meta database, and this does not exist. As per the slapd-meta man page:
“When a search with base "dc=foo,dc=com" is attempted, if the scope is "base" it fails with "no such object"; in fact, the common root of the two targets (prior to massaging) does not exist.”
The vendor won’t change their code to skip the verification, and recommended I use Microsoft’s ADAM instead of OpenLDAP. I would prefer to leverage OpenLDAP, so does anyone have any recommendations as to what I could do?
Thanks,
Bryce
