Chaining Component Operations From the Command Line
You can specify components you want to include in chaining using the
nsActiveChainingComponents
database,cn=plugins,cn=config
For example, if you want to allow the referential integrity component to chain
operations, you add the following to your database link configuration file:
nsActiveChainingComponents: cn=referential integrity postoperation,
cn=components,cn=config
Refer to Table 3-2 on page 98 for a list of the components you can allow to chain.
Once you have modified the
restart the server for your change to take affect.
After allowing the component to chain, you must create an ACI in the suffix on the
remote server to which the operation will be chained. For example, you would
create the following ACI for the referential integrity component:
aci: (targetattr
"*")(target="ldap:///ou=customers,l=us,dc=example,dc=com")
(version 3.0; acl "RefInt Access for chaining"; allow
(read,write,search,compare) userdn = "ldap:///cn=referential
integrity postoperation,cn=plugins,cn=config";)

Chaining LDAP Controls

You can choose to not chain operation requests made by LDAP controls. By
default, requests made by the following controls are forwarded to the remote
server by the database link:
• Virtual list view (VLV)—This control provides lists of parts of entries rather
than returning all entry information.
• Server side sorting—This control sorts entries according to their attribute
values.
• Managed DSA—This controls returns smart referrals as entries rather than
following the referral. This allows you to change or delete the smart referral
itself.
