We have an existing set of RHEL8 servers running the 2.4.x version of
OpenLDAP - we can't upgrade to the latest version due to other
dependencies.

I'm trying to solve a problem where we want to use our 2FA
authentication (which is OTP based on RADIUS) with some devices and
applications that don't support RADIUS at all, but they *do* support
LDAP authentication.

I've read about using the SASL, but since that requires replacing the
userPassword attribute for each user it won't work as I have to do
this without breaking straight username/password binds for users.

I looked into using overlays to create a new OU of users that was a
translucent overlay of the existing ou=People (something like
ou=rPeople), but searching this list archive and others says that
won't work as I can't overlay/rewrite the userPassword attribute ?  Is
that correct?

I'm trying to avoid duplicating the entire directory to new servers or
even duplicating the existing ou=People structure just to create a new
'userPassword' attribute that can be used for SASL.
