Hello OpenLDAP,
When OpenLDAP (2.0.11) returns a continuation
reference for a referral. Should that reference be transformed acording to the
dn that was originally searched for?
ie
I'm trying to get the attributes of the dn ldap://server1/ou=aaa,ou=bbb,o=ccc
where ldap://server1/ou=bbb,o=ccc is a
referral entry to ldap://server2/ou=xxx,o=yyy
Now ldap://server2/ou=aaa,ou=xxx,o=yyy
is the actual entry that has the attributes I want and it is on server 2.
Should server one transform the continuation
reference gotten from the referral ldap://server2/ou=xxx,o=yyy so that the client following
the cont. ref. tries to go to ldap://server2/ou=aaa,ou=xxx,o=yyy and
not to ldap://server2/ou=xxx,o=yyy to
get the attributes.
The behavior of Sun's JNDI and LDAP service
provider suggests that this is the job of the server to do this. Yet, I'm
looking for something in the LDAP v3 spec that suggests this. Does anyone have
any references?
thanks,
Mark Diggory
