what does "chain" mean in this case? chaining usually means that one of the DSAs contain a portion of the information, the other contains another portion, and you want that one of the DSA be able to propagate an operation on data contained in the other on behalf of the client, rather than returning a referral. However, since the two naming contexts don't share anything, I don't se how the two DSAs could be related. > > In the first step I have created a referral link.

In this case there's no need to chain anything; actually, I would expect one is replica of the other. > > In my case, the referral link don't work, because the user used to > connect to the first directory which containt the referral link is not > in the second.
