@ -78,6 +78,20 @@ 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 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.
