Re: referral on openldap v2.07

["Tux" <csyap@starnet.gov.sg>]

Hi Stephan,

Thanks for your help. Phew...it worked again!

Pls advice which should be the correct entry to add for referral:

Entry1:
dn: ref="ldap://localhost/o=org1",c=sg
objectclass: referral
ref: ldap://localhost/o=org1

or

Entry2:
dn: o=org1,c=sg
objectclass: referral
objectclass: extensibleobject
o: org1
ref: ldap://localhost/o=org1/

The admin guide states the use of entry 2 but it does not work. instead,
entry 1 works fine. any comments?

Cheers.
