In my mind, you just did the good choice. Let's consider the situation
where a user can ask for the 'ref' attribute :
- he asks for all the operationnal attributes ( filter = '+' )
- he asks for 'ref' explicitely
- he get a referral entry, and only if he added the ManageDsaIT control.
- he has created an entry with the 'extensibleObject' OC and added a
'ref' attribute to this entry, using it for other purpose than referrals
management
for the 3 first cases, we don't really care about returning 'ref' all
the time : the user will only get it for found referrals, and only if he
has added the ManageDsaIT control. Especially for case 1 and 2, there is
no way he can get a 'ref' attribute (just because referral wont be
returned as entries if the ManageDsaIT is not passed to the server).
For case 4, well, I don't think we should bother. At least for 1.0.1.
And even for 1.0.2. Let's postpone such a case for 1.5.0 (anyway, doe
sit harm someone that a get the 'ref' attribute when he deliberatly
added it into a special entry?)
I don't think so and the possibilities for this are extremely rare. If
the problem arises and a user files an issue with it we can then deal
with it.
We now have a good history log with this email thread if it does arise
again.
Thanks Emmanuel
