Hello Clément,

Thank you for your answer,

I tried with translucent (remote-remote) but unsuccessful.

My goal was to present to the ldap client a consolidated view of attributes from several ldap sources on the fly.

I was falling on this old post (http://blog.smile.fr/Les-meta-annuaires-d-entreprise#) that had made me hope for a feature like this (but with a database in this post)

But obviously, it is absolutely necessary to have a local database (translucent) or a new directory synchronized with the other remote directories to do that (but not on the fly).
Pity that we can not combine back_meta and translucent, it would have been perfect for a meta-directory ...
