RE: New draft on knowledge references in LDAP

["Ramsay, Ron" <Ron.Ramsay@ca.com>]

Roland,

I was a little confused by your description of the nssr attribute.

In a search result, do you actually return the attribute as part of the
entry it is in?

Why isn't NSSR processing invoked as part of a one-level search, or is it
your intention that the client should see the nssr attribute in the result
and act on it as if it were a continuation reference?

The X.500 model would have the nssr attribute in the superior entry
(otherwise it couldn't be non-specific) and wouldn't return it without the
manageDsaIt bit. It is not clear to me how you intend it should be used.
X500 compliant implementations would not return multiple entries relating to
the nssr entry.

Ron.
