Binds with referrals can be used for delegated authentication
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DIRSERVER-1217
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1217
Project: Directory ApacheDS
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Alex Karasulu
Fix For: 1.5.5
It's possible to perform delegated authentication by handling referral chasing
in the server on bind operations. This could be a new external authentication
mechanism. If a bind request using a principalDn represents a referral or does
not exist but has a referral at some ancestor in the DN then the server can
delegate the authentication to the target server. If the target server
referrenced in the ref attribute authenticates the user then ApacheDS accepts
the user as authenticated.
