After doing *much* research through the code, I found out : the library refuses to process a reference URL if it contains a scope or a filter. Cf. <http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.8/source/directory/c-sdk/ldap/libraries/libldap/request.c#1119>. Unfortunately, the OpenLDAP server adds automatically an empty scope and filter in the result URL (e.g. "http://server.fbi.gov/dc=fbi,dc=gov??";).
After uncommenting that line, Thunderbird now supports LDAP referrals. Phew ! :) -- Damiano ALBANI _______________________________________________ mozilla-directory mailing list [email protected] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-directory
