Re: referrals to foreign directory tree?

Hi, thank you for all advices.

I could add the suggested naming context with openldap v 2.0.7
(recent version) below and it works.; something like

dn: c=US
objectclass: top
objectclass: country
objectclass: referral
objectclass: extensibleObject
c: US
ref: ldap://ldap_for_US:port/c=US
