I set up a slave configuration with ppolicy_forward_updates feature.

In my data backend config, I have:

olcUpdateRef: ldap://localhost:389

And I created the chain overlay and a sub ldap backend like this:


dn: olcOverlay={0}chain,olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config
objectClass: top
objectClass: olcConfig
objectClass: olcChainConfig
objectClass: olcOverlayConfig
olcOverlay: {0}chain

dn: olcDatabase={0}ldap,olcOverlay={0}chain,olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config
objectClass: olcLDAPConfig
objectClass: olcChainDatabase
olcDatabase: {0}ldap
olcDbIDAssertBind: bindmethod="simple" binddn="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com"
credentials="secret" mode="none"


This configuration do not work: the BIND on the master server is done
anonymously, despite the olcDbIDAssertBind value.

To work, I need to add:

olcDbUri: ldap://localhost:389


Seems the problem exist in OpenLDAP unit test 32, see
tests/data/slapd-chain1.conf :

# uses the chain overlay as global;
# no chain-URI is configured, so the URI is parsed out of the referral
overlay         chain
chain-uri       @URI2@
chain-idassert-bind     bindmethod=simple
                        binddn="cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com"
                        credentials=secret
                        mode=self
                        flags=non-prescriptive



The comment say "no chain-URI is configured', but the chain-uri is configured.


Where is the truth?
