I have now in my directory a referral subtree like the exemple

ou: foo
ref: ldap://B.example.com/ou=foo,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: referral
objectClass: extensibleObject
Now I have some java class which can search, add, modify entries in my
directory (thx novell).
The referral search work, but not the add or modify. The referral is
following , i sure (-> log) when i add a new entry, but it's don't
create the new entry. it's was not ACL , I sure too. so I don't
understand.
do I need have special parameters in server B ?
In order to configure a JLDAP Connection to follow referrals with
authentication, you need to implement interfaces LDAPAuthHandler or
LDAPBindHandler. Some details on how to do this are in the JLDAP
documentation:
http://developer.novell.com/ndk/doc/jldap/index.html?page=/ndk/doc/jldap/jldapenu/data/aaf0eaa.html
I personally only configure connections to follow referrals on anonymous
requests because I don't like passing credentials around in my code, but
I recall testing this feature once long ago and it worked fine. Note
this is a client-side solution and has nothing to do with the chain overlay.
