Re: Forwarding client requests to AD

Ah-ha! It's all in the wording.

Once I got a clue to search on "database chaining," I found the right docs...

Good Morning,

I'm afraid my Google-fu is failing me, this morning. Synchronizing 389-ds with Active Directory is well understood.[1] However, for various non-technical reasons, I won't be able to do that for this environment.

What I need 389-ds to do is receive an ID/Auth requests from an LDAP client, forward that request into the AD environment, and then pass the response back to the end client. I suppose I would be tasking 389-ds to act as an AD proxy server, without doing full synchronization.

For bonus points, I will be loading sudoers information[2] into 389-ds and using it for *nix privilege authorization. So, "ou=SUDOers,dc=example,dc=com" would be locally served, while "ou=People,dc=example,dc=com" and "ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com" would be forwarded. (My SudoUser attributes will use user and group names returned from AD.)

Is using 389-ds as a AD proxy documented somewhere? Am I just not finding it?

Thanks!

David

Werner Heisenberg is driving down the autobahn. A police officer pulls
him over. The officer says, "Excuse me, sir, do you know how fast you
were going?"
"No," replies Dr. Heisenberg, "but I know where I am."

Rene Descartes walks into his neighborhood watering hole. The publican sees him and asks, "Will you have your usual, sir?"

Descartes ponders a moment and replies, "I think not."

And promptly disappears...
