only exist in some of these databases. In general, all of the glued
databases should be configured as similarly as possible, since the intent
is to provide the appearance of a single directory.
Note that the \fIsubordinate\fP functionality is implemented internally
by the \fIglue\fP overlay and as such its behavior will interact with other
overlays in use. By default, the glue overlay is automatically configured as
the last overlay on the superior backend. Its position on the backend
can be explicitly configured by setting an \fBoverlay glue\fP directive
at the desired position. This explicit configuration is necessary e.g.
when using the \fIsyncprov\fP overlay, which needs to follow \fIglue\fP
in order to work over all of the glued databases. E.g.

.nf
database bdb
suffix dc=example,dc=com
