And hello..
I have the following situation which I hope someone can explain to me and correct my assumptions.
The scenario is thus: I have one LDAP server (eTrust) which contains a user of dn="uid=123456,ou=Level1,ou=Staff,o=myCompany"

On another LDAP server (iPlanet), the DN for this userid is - dn="uid=123456,ou=people,ou=grp,o=grp2,dc=mycompany,dc=com"

I want to be able to pass the DN from the first LDAP and have it successfully search and return a 0 when it traverses through the iPlanet directory. But because the DN's are different, I am thinking of using Prefix Mapping (DxLInk) on the iPlanet directory which will map the DN that came from the eTrust to the DN in the iPlanet directory.
The following would be my definition.
set dsa LDAP1 = {
prefix = <o MyCompany><ou Staff><ou Level1>
native-prefix = <dc com><dc mycompany><o grp2><ou grp><ou people>
};
Is the above valid?
Thankyou.
