I'm using translucent in a local server. That same server also has an extra local database, which is a local only branch of the remote database. This database is a subordinate and they glue together well. Now, for the sake of management, i need to be able to identify to the local database (rootdn) but using credentials from the remote database.
Assuming one has

translucent to remote - dc=example,dc=com
with remote admin user cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com

local - ou=localbranch,dc=example,dc=com
with rootdn admin user cn=admin,ou=localbranch,dc=example,dc=com

I tried the follwing on the local server

database        hdb
suffix          "ou=localbranch,dc=example,dc=com"
rootdn          "cn=admin,ou=localbranch,dc=example,dc=com"
rootpw          "secret"
Have you tried


Now i have. :)

database        hdb
suffix          "ou=localbranch,dc=example,dc=com"
rootdn          "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com"

? Where cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com is a valid object you can bind to.
You cannot have rootpw here, because "The password can only be set if the rootdn is within the namingContext (suffix) of the database." man slapd.conf

Yes, i read about the naming context restrictions and wrongfully understood that it would apply to the rootdn/rootpw pair. Your suggestion did the trick. And it was so simple i can't help feeling a bit of shame..
Thanks!

My Best Regards,

Hugo Monteiro.
