We need to support DSA referrals
--------------------------------
Key: DIRSERVER-1497
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1497
Project: Directory ApacheDS
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.5.7
Reporter: Emmanuel Lecharny
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 2.0.0-RC1
Atm, we just support 'smart' referrals (ie, referrals handled in entries), we
don't support DSA referrals (or suffix referrals).
This is a must have : we should be able to redirect all request to another
server if the requested DN does not exist in the local DIT, or we should be
able to do the same thing if the current server is in maintenance mode.
This kind of referral must be configured globally, and handled globally. We can
add a referral with each suffix, plus a global one.
For instance, a global referral can be set this way :
<defaultDirectoryService id="directoryService" instanceId="default"
referral="ldap://remote.server:389";
referralActivated="false"
...
so that if we change the flag to TRUE, any request will be redirected to the
remote server.
For the suffix referral, we can do that :
<jdbmPartition id="example"
suffix="dc=example,dc=com"
referral="ldap://example.com:489";...>
then any request done on dc=example,dc=com will be redirected on the
example.com server.
