nsslapd-referral (Referral)

This multi-valued attribute specifies the LDAP URL(s) to be returned by the suffix
when the server receives a request for an entry not belonging to the local tree; that
is, an entry whose suffix does not match the value specified on any of the suffix
attributes. For example, assume the database contains only entries:
ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
but the request is for this entry:
ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com
In this case, the referral would be passed back to the client in an attempt to allow
the LDAP client to locate a database that contains the requested entry. Although
only one referral is allowed per Directory Server instance, this referral can have
multiple values.
NOTE If you want to use SSL and TLS communications, the Referral
attribute should be in the following form:
Start TLS does not support referrals.
