Referrals or links

[Ignacio Coupeau <icoupeau@unav.es>]

Some one knows if is posible fetch and search/resolve the referrals in
the server side?

I found that the referral may be in a lop playing with short bases; for
example:

bin/ldapsearch -C -L -H "ldap://arcos.cti.unav.es/"; -b
"o=alumni,dc=unav,dc=es" "cn=cris*"
works fine: the server arcos (dc=unav,dc=es) returns a referral to an
other server raid (o=alumni,dc=unav,dc=es) and fetch the data well...

BUT,
bin/ldapsearch -C -L -H "ldap://arcos.cti.unav.es/"; -b "dc=unav,dc=es"
"cn=cris*"
keeps in a loop because other bases in raid (o=xxx,dc=unav,dc=es)
returns a default referral to server arcos (dc=unav,dc=es)

so  is very simple write script with a wrong base and keeps the server
in a loop...

Any help?

Arcos only contains:
