RE: Unique overlay usage with filter



Pierangelo,

Thanks again.

I've moved the overlay configuration part after the database
configuration part, but I still get the same problem - adding the second
entry fails due to a constraint violation when it should succeed.  Is
there anything else I can try or should I file and ITS?

The overlay part should go after all the database part, i.e.

database bdb
suffix "dc=Nortel,dc=com"
rootdn "cn=Administrator,dc=Nortel,dc=com"
rootpw adminpwd
directory data
index sn eq,sub
index cn eq,sub

overlay unique
unique_uri ldap:///?uid?sub?(sn=e*)

so the overlay configuration can properly check dependencies on database
data.  Don't know whether this fixes your issue, though.
