I would like clarification on how LDAPBind vs LDAPRebind objects
are used in the Java API.
The I-D implies, but never quite says that the two objects don't
normally exist in the LDAPConstraints object at the same time.
(Implied by Appendix G - LDAPConstraints - they should
not be specified on the same constructor)
They certainly can both be set by using the set methods, but
are probably not both used at the same time.
I surmise from the draft that these objects are used as follows:
1. Neither object is used unless Referrals are enabled in the
LDAPConstraint object (automatic referral following
enabled).
2. An LDAPRebind object is used only if present and if an
LDAPBind
object is not present in the LDAPConstraint
object.
3. An LDAPBind object is used if present. If present, the
LDAPRebind
object is not needed by LDAPConnection as no implicit
binding is done.
Explicit binding is the responsibility of the LDAPBind
object. Therefore
the LDAPRebind object is not used in this case.
If my guesses are correct, maybe the draft should be clarified as to
the
usage of these objects.
Thanks,
-Steve
