Discovering search base

["Jacob Refstrup" <jgr@hplb.hpl.hp.com>]

Hi folks,

I'm fairly new to LDAP so please forgive my ignorance. My question is as
follows:-

After reading the LDAPv3 spec. (rfc 2252 in particular) my understanding was
that the value of the "namingContext" attribute could be used as a search
base? First of all - is this understanding correct - and how on earth do I
query a server for that information? My understanding is that it would be
pretty similar to "altServers" so if anyone knows how that works I would
like to hear.

Thanks,

Jacob
