Specifying the Pass-through Subtree

The PTA directory passes through bind requests to the authenticating directory
from all clients whose DN is defined in the pass-through subtree. You specify the
subtree by replacing the
directory.
The pass-through subtree must not exist in the PTA directory. If it does, the PTA
directory attempts to resolve bind requests using its own directory contents and
the binds fail.
To specify the pass-through subtree:
Create an LDIF file that contains the following LDIF update statements:
1.
dn: cn=Pass Through Authentication,cn=plugins,cn=config
changetype: add
add: nsslapd-pluginarg0
nsslapd-pluginarg0: ldap://authDS/subtree [optional_parameters]
For example, you could set the value of the
"ldap://dirserver.example.com/o=NetscapeRoot [Parameters]"
For information on the variable components in this sytax, refer to Table 16-1,
on page 516.
