[ldapext] Attribute type ref, usage distributedOperation and Manage DSA IT mode

[Michael Ströder <michael@stroeder.com>]

HI!

The USAGE of attribute type 'ref' is distributedOperation.

From draft-ietf-ldapbis-models-10:

  A usage of directoryOperation, distributedOperation, or dSAOperation
  indicates that attributes of this type represent operational and/or
  administrative information.  That is, they are operational attributes.

So far, so good.

But if a client is in Manage DSA IT mode 'ref' is not an operational 
attribute from the client's perspective. How should the client behave?
Background: In web2ldap I solely present non-operational and user-editable 
attributes to the user when generating input forms. Hmm, I probably have to 
add special treatment for 'ref' considering the Manage DSA IT mode.

Ciao, Michael.
