Yes, the object does not have to exist in the chaining database, only in the real database that is chained to. Any info in the access and error logs on the chaining server or the chained to server?Thanks Rick, Yes this is what I did. I find the error message not very user-friendly. Anyway, when I use a different bind dn, it says that my sub suffix l=location B,ou=people,o=suffix does not exist. Do I need to add that object as well? Thought, the directory takes care of this one.

Again, both of them have a people organizational unit (ou=people,o=suffix). Server B has a big subtree (ou=region B,ou=people,o=suffix). My intension is to create a db link on Server A, which links to the ou=region B,ou=people,o=suffix subtree on Server B. I did create the database link and a new suffix l=location B,ou=people,o=suffix on Server A with the following entries: dn: cn=serverBlink,cn=chaining database,cn=plugins,cn=configobjectclass: top objectclass: extensibleObject objectclass: nsBackendInstance nsslapd-suffix: ou=region B,ou=people,o=suffix nsfarmserverurl: ldap://serverB:389/ nsmultiplexorbinddn: cn=proxy admin,cn=config nsmultiplexorcredentials: secret cn: serverBlinkdn: cn="l=location B,ou=people,o=suffix",cn=mapping tree,cn=configobjectclass: top objectclass: extensibleObject objectclass: nsMappingTree nsslapd-state: backend nsslapd-backend: serverBlink nsslapd-parent-suffix: "ou=people,o=suffix " cn: "l=location B,ou=people,o=suffix"I am only interested in reading the server B information, when accessing from server A. The "proxy admin" user was created as well. When I do a search with the base l=location B,ou=people,o=suffix, accessing server A, I always get the following error "Proxy dn should not be rootdn". What did I miss for the setup?You cannot chain the directory manager user (aka rootdn). I'm assuming you're doing a search like ldapsearch -D "cn=directory manager" ... This will not work - you must use a user other than directory manager.Thanks,-Reinhard------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- 389 users mailing list 389-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users-- 389 users mailing list 389-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users
