Set 'updateref' or 'referral'.  If neither are set, the server should
return an error.  Whether or not the client chases the referral is
another matter.  OpenLDAP provided clients don't normally chase
referrals.

I would assume JNDI would provide necessary API support for
clients wishing to chase referrals.  Whether or not a client
chasing referrals is another matter.
