[ldapext] subtree search with glue entries

["Jim Sermersheim" <jimse@novell.com>]

All,

Assume a server populated with these entries:

dc=com (glue)
dc=example,dc=com (context prefix)
dc=org (context prefix)

When a one-level or subtree search is rooted at the DIT root (empty RDN
sequence)*, how should dc=com be treated?

1.1) It should not be returned
1.2) A search result reference should be generated using the superior
referral should be returned

When a subtree search is rooted at the DIT root (empty RDN sequence)*,
how should dc=example,dc=com (and subordinates) be treated?

2.1) They should not be returned
2.2) They should be returned

I assume the answers are 1.1 and 2.1, but am not sure. Does anyone else
have experience here?

Jim

*Note that while some LDAP servers don't support this, it is a feature
