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.This is a classic use case for Virtual DIT Views, the advantage over referrals being that it works with clients that don't follow referrals. As long as the entries contain the information required to do so, any DIT structure can be created virtually - so you're old DIT can exist at the same as your new one.

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? --Philip Kime ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Fedora-directory-users mailing list Fedora-directory-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users
