SLAPO-TRANSLUCENT(5)
NAME
  slapo-translucent - Translucent Proxy overlay

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/internet/openldap/etc/slapd.conf

DESCRIPTION
  The Translucent Proxy overlay can be used with a backend database such as
  slapd-bdb(5) to create a "translucent proxy".	 Entries retrieved from a
  remote LDAP server may have some or all attributes overridden, or new
  attributes added, by entries in the local database before being presented
  to the client.

  A search operation is first populated with entries from the remote LDAP
  server, the attributes of which are then overridden with any attributes
  defined in the local database. Local overrides may be populated with the
  add, modify , and modrdn operations, the use of which is restricted to the
  root user.

  A compare operation will perform a comparison with attributes defined in
  the local database record (if any) before any comparison is made with data
  in the remote database.

CONFIGURATION
  The Translucent Proxy overlay uses a remote LDAP server which is configured
  with the options shown in slapd-ldap(5).  These slapd.conf options are
  specific to the Translucent Proxy overlay; they may appear anywhere after
  the overlay directive and before any subsequent database directive.

  translucent_strict
       By default, attempts to delete attributes in either the local or
       remote databases will be silently ignored. The translucent_strict
       directive causes these modifications to fail with a Constraint
       Violation.

  translucent_no_glue
       This configuration option disables the automatic creation of "glue"
       records for an add or modrdn operation, such that all parents of an
       entry added to the local database must be created by hand. Glue
       records are always created for a modify operation.

CAVEATS
  The Translucent Proxy overlay will disable schema checking in the local
  database, so that an entry consisting of overlay attributes need not adhere
  to the complete schema.

  Because the translucent overlay does not perform any DN rewrites,  the
  local and remote database instances must have the same suffix.  Other
  configurations will probably fail with No Such Object and other errors.
