Extended Referral Control

Description

Normal referral are "simple" LDAP URL like : ldap://root.openldap.org/dc=openldap,dc=org

To select more precisely what can be read through AACL filter backend, we develop a control to support full URL as extended referral :

  • ldap://root.openldap.org/dc=openldap,dc=org?cn,sn,displayName,mail?sub?objectClass=inetOrgPerson

  • This mean, that when we find this referral during a search on our directory :
    - We look forward on host root.openldap.org
    - under dc=openldap,dc=org
    - to the minimum of the set of attributes specified in the ldap search query and in this url
    - with the filter to which we had the "limitation" specified as the last part of the url
    - with a scope that is the minimum between the scope specified in the query and in the url.
But must important, the OID of this control : "1.3.6.1.4.1.13129.1.6.1".
