HI!

Some really weird software assumes a flat name space and does authentication by doing a BindRequest against

uid=<user id>,<search root>

instead of searching the for (uid=<user id>) under <search root> and use the DN in the result as Bind-DN.

Is it possible to use back-meta in OpenLDAP 2.1.x to fix this situation? Or do I have to implement my own LDAP proxy back-end?

Ciao, Michael.
