     I am through my requirement with only slapd-ldap.
     Ie my backend ldap is forwarding the bind request to the other server
     and authenticating the user  with out the slapo-chain.
     So what else slapo-chain do more ?.
     Also the man page of slapo-chain  says: <sniped >It is useless in 
conjunction with the slapd-ldap and
             slapd-meta backends because they  already  exploit  the  
libldap
             specific  referral chase feature.  [Note: this may change 
in the
             future, as the ldap(5) and  meta(5)  backends  might  no  
longer
             chase referrals on their own.
  Is it going to change in future release ?
