Oracle Virtual Directory (OVD) 10g or 11g.

OVD rewrite / translation of group members Distinguished Name (DN) not working as expected.

When doing a simple join of two groups, the membership shows the users with DNs in their true remote namespace location and not the relative root namespace location in OVD. So when the application is looking for the user, it will not find it, e.g.:

User true location = cn=userid, ou=users, ou=myou, dc=mydc, dc=mycompany, dc=com
User OVD location = cn=userid, ou=external,ou=users,dc=local

How to translate the member DNs in groups in OVD correctly?
