OK, I see some helpful errors in the logs here:

So... I am assuming that there is a configuration entry that I need called "linkType", which isn't listed in the link per se, although there is a reference to it in passing. Can someone help me with the expected type of value, ie is this an attribute type, etc? What do I need here?
The feature design page you referenced had the configuration attributes named incorrectly (the attribute names changed between the design and implementation of the feature). I have updated the configuration section of that page to be correct. Please look here for details:
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Linked_Attributes_Design#Configuration
In short, you need to use "linkType" and "managedType" instead of "linkAttribute" and "managedAttribute" in your config entry that you have referenced below.
-NGK
The following was added to my dse.ldif:
dn: cn=Manager Link, cn=Linked Attributes,cn=plugins,cn=config
objectClass: extensibleObject
objectClass: top
cn: Manager Link
linkattribute: directReport
managedattribute: linkmanager
Both the linkattribute "directReport" and managedattribute "linkmanager" are custom attributes added as "MAY" to a custom "employee" objectclass, to which 3 test users have as an attribute value. I didn't want to conflict with any existing attributes, and I noticed that the directreport attribute did not exist.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
SB

Hello All,
I have 389 up and running, and had some questions on Linked Attributes. I found this http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Linked_Attributes_Design but that is the extent of the documentation that I have found. Does anyone know of any additional documentation that you can point me to?
I am unclear on exactly how to configure Linked Attributes properly, and how to use them. Specifically, which ldif file would I need to modify to create a linked attribute? Would that be dse.ldif, or one of the ldif's in the schema sub-folder (/etc/dirsrv/slapd-<instance_name>/schema)? What else would I need to know to configure a linked attribute? What do I need to know about it's usage?
Once I have the details I can post some documentation back to the community- there is nothing in the RedHat Directory Server on this plugin as of yet that I have seen. I don't think that this can be done through the GUI at this time...
Thanks in advance for the community's help.
SB
