All in all, when remapping +a remote server via back-ldap (\fBslapd\-ldap\fP(5)) +or back-meta (\fBslapd\-meta\fP(5)) +their definition can be easily obtained by querying the \fIsubschemaSubentry\fP +of the remote server; the problem should not exist when remapping a local +database. +Note, however, that the decision whether to rewrite or not attributeTypes +with +.IR "distinguishedName syntax" , +requires the knowledge of the attributeType syntax. +See the REWRITING section for details. +.LP +Note that when mapping DN-valued attributes from local to remote, +first the DN is rewritten, and then the attributeType is mapped; +while mapping from remote to local, first the attributeType is mapped, +and then the DN is rewritten. +As such, it is important that the local attributeType is appropriately +defined as using the distinguishedName syntax. +Also, note that there are DN-related syntaxes (i.e. compound types with +a portion that is DN-valued), like nameAndOptionalUID, +whose values are currently not rewritten. +.LP +If the foreign type of an attribute mapping is not defined on the local +server, it might be desirable to have the attribute values normalized after +the mapping process. Not normalizing the values can lead to wrong results, +when the +.B rwm +overlay is used together with e.g. the +.B pcache +overlay. This normalization can be enabled by means of the +.B rwm\-normalize\-mapped\-attrs +directive. +.TP +.B rwm\-normalize\-mapped\-attrs {yes|no} +Set this to "yes", if the +.B rwm +overlay should try to normalize the values of attributes that are mapped from +an attribute type that is unknown to the local server. The default value of +this setting is "no". +.TP +.B rwm-drop-unrequested-attrs {yes|no} +Set this to "yes", if the +.B rwm +overlay should drop attributes that are not explicitly requested +by a search operation. +When this is set to "no", the +.B rwm +overlay will leave all attributes in place, so that subsequent modules +can further manipulate them. +In any case, unrequested attributes will be omitted from search results +by the frontend, when the search entry response package is encoded. +The default value of this setting is "yes". +.SH SUFFIX MASSAGING +A basic feature of the +.B rwm +overlay is the capability to perform suffix massaging between a virtual +and a real naming context by means of the +.B rwm\-suffixmassage +directive. +This, in conjunction with proxy backends, +.BR slapd\-ldap (5) +and +.BR slapd\-meta (5), +or with the relay backend, +.BR slapd\-relay (5), +allows one to create virtual views of databases. +A distinguishing feature of this overlay is that, when instantiated +before any database, it can modify the DN of requests +.I before +database selection. +For this reason, rules that rewrite the empty DN ("") +or the subschemaSubentry DN (usually "cn=subschema"), +would prevent clients from reading the root DSE or the DSA's schema. +.TP +.B rwm\-suffixmassage "[]" "" +Shortcut to implement naming context rewriting; the trailing part +of the DN is rewritten from the virtual to the real naming context +in the bindDN, searchDN, searchFilterAttrDN, compareDN, compareAttrDN, +addDN, addAttrDN, modifyDN, modifyAttrDN, modrDN, newSuperiorDN, +deleteDN, exopPasswdDN, and from the real to the virtual naming context +in the searchEntryDN, searchAttrDN and matchedDN rewrite contexts. +By default no rewriting occurs for the searchFilter +and for the referralAttrDN and referralDN rewrite contexts. +If no \fI\fP is given, the first suffix of the +database is used; this requires the +.B rwm\-suffixmassage +directive be defined \fIafter\fP the database +.B suffix +directive. +The +.B rwm\-suffixmassage +directive automatically sets the +.B rwm\-rewriteEngine +to +.BR ON . +.LP +See the REWRITING section for details. +.SH REWRITING +A string is rewritten according to a set of rules, called a `rewrite +context'. +The rules are based on POSIX (''extended'') regular expressions with +substring matching; basic variable substitution and map resolution +of substrings is allowed by specific mechanisms detailed in the following. +The behavior of pattern matching/substitution can be altered by a set +of flags. +.LP +.RS +.nf + ::= [...] + ::= [] +.fi +.RE +.LP +The underlying concept is to build a lightweight rewrite module +for the slapd server (initially dedicated to the LDAP backend): +.LP +.SH Passes +An incoming string is matched against a set of +.IR rewriteRules . +Rules are made of a +.IR "regex match pattern" , +a +.I "substitution pattern" +and a set of actions, described by a set of +.IR "optional flags" . +In case of match, string rewriting is performed according to the +substitution pattern that allows one to refer to substrings matched in the +incoming string. +The actions, if any, are finally performed. +Each rule is executed recursively, unless altered by specific action +flags; see "Action Flags" for details. +A default limit on the recursion level is set, and can be altered +by the +.B rwm\-rewriteMaxPasses +directive, as detailed in the "Additional Configuration Syntax" section. +The substitution pattern allows map resolution of substrings. +A map is a generic object that maps a substitution pattern to a value. +The flags are divided in "Pattern Matching Flags" and "Action Flags"; +the former alter the regex match pattern behavior, while the latter +alter the actions that are taken after substitution. +.SH "Pattern Matching Flags" +.TP +.B `C' +honors case in matching (default is case insensitive) +.TP +.B `R' +use POSIX ''basic'' regular expressions (default is ''extended'') +.TP +.B `M{n}' +allow no more than +.B n +recursive passes for a specific rule; does not alter the max total count +of passes, so it can only enforce a stricter limit for a specific rule. +.SH "Action Flags" +.TP +.B `:' +apply the rule once only (default is recursive) +.TP +.B `@' +stop applying rules in case of match; the current rule is still applied +recursively; combine with `:' to apply the current rule only once +and then stop. +.TP +.B `#' +stop current operation if the rule matches, and issue an `unwilling to +perform' error. +.TP +.B `G{n}' +jump +.B n +rules back and forth (watch for loops!). +Note that `G{1}' is implicit in every rule. +.TP +.B `I' +ignores errors in rule; this means, in case of error, e.g. issued by a +map, the error is treated as a missed match. +The `unwilling to perform' is not overridden. +.TP +.B `U{n}' +uses +.B +n +as return code if the rule matches; the flag does not alter the recursive +behavior of the rule, so, to have it performed only once, it must be used +in combination with `:', e.g. +.B `:U{32}' +returns the value `32' (indicating noSuchObject) after exactly +one execution of the rule, if the pattern matches. +As a consequence, its behavior is equivalent to `@', with the return +code set to +.BR n ; +or, in other words, `@' is equivalent to `U{0}'. +Positive errors are allowed, indicating the related LDAP error codes +as specified in \fIdraft-ietf-ldapbis-protocol\fP. +.LP +The ordering of the flags can be significant. +For instance: `IG{2}' means ignore errors and jump two lines ahead +both in case of match and in case of error, while `G{2}I' means ignore +errors, but jump two lines ahead only in case of match. +.LP +More flags (mainly Action Flags) will be added as needed. +.SH "Pattern Matching" +See +.BR regex (7) +and/or +.BR re_format (7). +.SH "Substitution Pattern Syntax" +Everything starting with `$' requires substitution; +.LP +the only obvious exception is `$$', which is turned into a single `$'; +.LP +the basic substitution is `$', where `' is a digit; +0 means the whole string, while 1-9 is a submatch, as discussed in +.BR regex (7) +and/or +.BR re_format (7). +.LP +a `$' followed by a `{' invokes an advanced substitution. +The pattern is: +.LP +.RS +`$' `{' [ ] `(' `)' `}' +.RE +.LP +where must be a legal name for the map, i.e. +.LP +.RS +.nf + ::= [a-z][a-z0-9]* (case insensitive) + ::= `>' `|' `&' `&&' `*' `**' `$' +.fi +.RE +.LP +and must be a legal substitution +pattern, with no limits on the nesting level. +.LP +The operators are: +.TP +.B > +sub-context invocation; must be a legal, already defined +rewrite context name +.TP +.B | +external command invocation; must refer to a legal, already +defined command name (NOT IMPLEMENTED YET) +.TP +.B & +variable assignment; defines a variable in the running +operation structure which can be dereferenced later; operator +.B & +assigns a variable in the rewrite context scope; operator +.B && +assigns a variable that scopes the entire session, e.g. its value +can be dereferenced later by other rewrite contexts +.TP +.B * +variable dereferencing; must refer to a variable that is +defined and assigned for the running operation; operator +.B * +dereferences a variable scoping the rewrite context; operator +.B ** +dereferences a variable scoping the whole session, e.g. the value +is passed across rewrite contexts +.TP +.B $ +parameter dereferencing; must refer to an existing parameter; +the idea is to make some run-time parameters set by the system +available to the rewrite engine, as the client host name, the bind DN +if any, constant parameters initialized at config time, and so on; +no parameter is currently set by either +.B back\-ldap +or +.BR back\-meta , +but constant parameters can be defined in the configuration file +by using the +.B rewriteParam +directive. +.LP +Substitution escaping has been delegated to the `$' symbol, +which is used instead of `\e' in string substitution patterns +because `\e' is already escaped by slapd's low level parsing routines; +as a consequence, regex escaping requires +two `\e' symbols, e.g. `\fB.*\e.foo\e.bar\fP' must +be written as `\fB.*\e\e.foo\e\e.bar\fP'. +.\" +.\" The symbol can be altered at will by redefining the related macro in +.\" "rewrite-int.h". +.\" +.SH "Rewrite Context" +A rewrite context is a set of rules which are applied in sequence. +The basic idea is to have an application initialize a rewrite +engine (think of Apache's mod_rewrite ...) with a set of rewrite +contexts; when string rewriting is required, one invokes the +appropriate rewrite context with the input string and obtains the +newly rewritten one if no errors occur. +.LP +Each basic server operation is associated to a rewrite context;

note that reaching this limit is still +treated as a success; recursive invocation of rules is simply +interrupted. +The count applies to the rewriting operation as a whole, not +to any single rule; an optional per-rule limit can be set. +This limit is overridden by setting specific per-rule limits +with the `M{n}' flag. + +.SH "MAPS" +Currently, few maps are builtin but additional map types may be +registered at runtime. + +Supported maps are: +.TP +.B LDAP [bindwhen=] [version=] [binddn=] [credentials=] +The +.B LDAP +map expands a value by performing a simple LDAP search. +Its configuration is based on a mandatory URI, whose +.B attrs +portion must contain exactly one attribute +(use +.B entryDN +to fetch the DN of an entry). +If a multi-valued attribute is used, only the first value is considered. + +The parameter +.B bindwhen +determines when the connection is established. +It can take the values +.BR now , +.BR later , +and +.BR everytime , +respectively indicating that the connection should be created at startup, +when required, or any time it is used. +In the former two cases, the connection is cached, while in the latter +a fresh new one is used all times.
