By default, when automatically following referrals, LDAP performs
an anonymous bind. To change this behaviour, if you're coding the
client you must perform an explicit rebind, see ldap_set_rebind_proc(3).
Otherwise, you should disable the automatical referral chasing, and
reissue the write operation to the new target. This is what I got.
You should check some rfc on the subject, though, for more detailed
explanations.
