Creating Smart Referrals From The Command Line - Netscape DIRECTORY SERVER 6.01 - ADMINISTRATOR Administrator's Manual

Creating Smart Referrals From the Command Line

Use the
ldapmodify
command line.
To create a smart referral, create the relevant directory entry and add the
object class. This object class allows a single attribute,
expected to contain an LDAP URL.
For example, add the following to return a smart referral for an existing entry,
:
uid=bjensen
dn: uid=bjensen,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: referral
ref:
ldap://directory.europe.example.com/cn=babs%20jensen,ou=people,
l=europe,dc=example,dc=com
Any information after a space in an LDAP URL is ignored by the
NOTE
server. For this reason, you must use
LDAP URL you intend to use as a referral.
To add the entry
uid=ssarette,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
to
directory.europe.example.com
LDIF file before importing:
dn: uid=ssarette, ou=people, dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: person
objectclass: organizationalperson
objectclass: inetOrgPerson
objectclass: referral
cn: somi sarette
sn: sarette
uid: ssarette
ref:
ldap://directory.europe.example.com/cn=somi%20sarette,ou=people,
l=europe,dc=example,dc=com
