I have a question concerning what I referral is in JNDI. Currently when I
attempt to do a ctx.getAttributes("cn=xxx,ou=yyy,o=zzz") and "ou=yyy,o=zzz"
is a referral entry that points to "ldap://server2/ou=aaa,o=bbb"; I get back
the attributes for "ldap://server2/ou=aaa,o=bbb"; and not the attributes for
"ldap://server2/cn=xxx,ou=aaa,o=bbb";. This appears to me to be a major
logical error in how Referrals are managed in the Netscape JNDI Service
Provider. It means that the preceeding cn=xxx never gets prepended to
ou=zzz,o=bbb before the Referral is followed.
Is there anyone out there who can comment on this?
Is there anyone out there who is actually developing the LDAP Service
Provider for JNDI who I can talk to? Because I really need to have referrals
to behave according to this usecase and I'm willing to make changes to the
SP code to do it.
