This directive adds the chain overlay to the current backend.
The chain overlay may be used with any backend, but it is mainly
intended for use with local storage backends that may return referrals.
It is useless in conjunction with the \fIldap\fP and \fImeta\fP backends
because they already exploit the libldap specific referral chase feature.

[Note: this may change in the future, as \fBslapd-ldap\fP(5) and

Any valid directives for the ldap database may be used; see
.BR slapd-ldap (5)
for details.
Multiple occurrences of the \fBchain-uri\fP directive may appear,
to define multiple "trusted" URIs where operations with
\fIidentity assertion\fP are chained.
All URIs not listed in the configuration are chained anonymously.
All \fBslapd-ldap\fP(5) directives appearing before the first
occurrence of \fBchain-uri\fP are shared among all operations,
unless specifically overridden inside each URI configuration.
