Sorry, the chaining server. I checked the chained to server (Server B)'s access file and it gets it from there. This is good, that Server A actually talks to Server B. The issue is the following: I do a search with the Base: l=location B,ou=people,o=suffix It performs the search on Server B with the exactly same search-base, although I configured it as nsslapd-suffix: ou=region B,ou=people,o=suffix So, shouldn't Server A alter the search and use ou=region B,ou=people,o=suffix as base? On the otherhand, I could change the configuration accordingly. -Reinhard -----Original Message----- From: fedora-directory-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-directory-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Rich Megginson Sent: Monday, July 20, 2009 1:57 PM To: General discussion list for the 389 Directory server project.

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.
