I updated to the latest snapshot and this Exception no longer seems be a
problem.
What is a problem...
When using the Netscape LDAP service provider
It seems the behavior of following referrals when doing a getAttributes on
an entry whose DN crosses a referral. Like
ldap://server1/ou=xxx,ou=yyy,o=vdc where ou=yyy,o=vdc points to
ldap://server2/ou=mmm,o=nnn
so if I do getAttributes(ldap://server1/ou=xxx,ou=yyy,o=vdc )
where ou=yyy,o=vdc id a referral to ldap://server2/ou=mmm,o=nnn
I get back attributes of ldap://server2/ou=mmm,o=nnn
not the attributes of ldap://server2/ou=xxx,ou=mmm,o=nnn
this isn't very logical, I should be getting back the attributes of the
entry I'm looking for, since it exists. This seems to happen as well for
search().
