I am running the
latest Fedora-DS and trying to use nss_ldap. I have to migrate an older LDAP
server onto the Fedora-DS but keep temporarily the old tree structure for all
current LDAP clients. So I was goint to leave the old search base in
/etc/ldap.conf on the client and just re-direct queries to the new location (on
the same server). A job for referrals, I thought. I'll just put a stub root dc
on the new server and make it point to the new location, like
this:
dc=a,dc=y
a referral to the
new
dc=a,dc=b
I set this up,
ldapsearch shows that it's getting the right referral (though I can't seem to
get ldapsearch follow the the referral?)
However, if I try to
do anything involving nss_ldap (which otherwise works fine), I get this, for
example, in syslog:
getent: nss_ldap:
could not search LDAP server - Referral
Does nss_ldap not
follow referalls? That would make it rather useless .... Is this a Fedora-DS
problem?
