General LDAP

When a directory server does not have the requested information and knows where it might be found, there are two possible scenarios to continue. The first one is referrals, the second is chaining.

  • referrals occur when the LDAP server passes the URI of the directory server who has the information back to the client making the request so that the client has the option of making the same request to the correct directory server
  • chaining occurs when the directory server makes the request on behalf of the client to the appropriate directory server using the credentials supplied by the client and passing the results back to the client. The client will not know that it did not come from the original directory server.
