ack-ldap
The back ldap module acts as a LDAP proxy, allowing a
given LDAP server to receive requests for a database that it
does not contain.
Example:
Having the following in the slapd of ldap.saruman.org:
database ldap
suffix dc=Sauron,dc=Org
server ldap.mordor.org:9000
Would allow ldap.saruman.org to seem to answer queries of
the dc=Sauron,dc=Org database, when in fact these queries
are being forwarded to the LDAP server on ldap.mordor.org
listening on port 9000.
This can be useful to simplify client configuration and
circumvent firewalls.
