To put it very simply,
If the server cannot begin the request (typically search) because the
base dn for the operation is not on this server, a referral is
generated.
Search Continuation References apply only to search requests. If a
search request
is in progress, i.e. entries in the scope of the search exist on this
server, but some
entries in the scope of the search are unavailable because they are on
another
server, then a search reference is generated pointing to the server and
dn
where the search can be continued for those entries.
