Referrals

An LDAP database can be distributed over multiple servers. If the requested information is not on
the current server, the LDAP v3 standard provides a mechanism for the server to return a referral
to the client that informs the client of an alternate server. (This feature is also included in some
LDAP v2-compliant servers.)
ColdFusion can handle referrals automatically. If you specify a nonzero
tag, ColdFusion sends the request to the server specified in the referral.
cfldap
The attribute value specifies the number of referrals allowed for the request. For
referral
example, if the
referral
a referral to server C, ColdFusion returns an error. If the
the information, the LDAP request succeeds. The value to use depends on the topology of the
distributed LDAP directory, the importance of response speed, and the value of response
completeness.
When ColdFusion follows a referral, the
tag login information in the request to the new server. The default, No, sends an
cfldap
anonymous login to the server.

the locations of the other fields.
