Probably a side-effect of fixing ITS#5853: when setting LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS, libldap automatically chases any referrals, but at the end returns a response with ld_errno set to 10 and ld_matched set to the portion of DN that was matched in the initial request. This is because the corresponding fields in the parent request are not cleared when the referral is successfully chased. I'm trying to fix this, but it's not clear to me when success should be detected: at successful referral chasing request submission, I guess?
When does this behavior? It doesn't show up in e.g. test009...
If you have a subordinate reference in server1 that points to server2 and you search server1 using the DN of the subordinate reference. What I do is:
- fire test003
- create a slapd.2.conf with suffix "ou=Other,dc=example,dc=com"
- populate server1 with
dn: ou=Other,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: referral objectClass: extensibleObject ou: Other ref: ldap://:9012/ou=Other,dc=example,dc=com
- populate server2 with
dn: ou=Other,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: organizationalUnit ou: Other
dn: cn=Foo Bar,ou=Other,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: device cn: Foo Bar
- search server1 for "ou=Other,dc=example,dc=com"
Apparently, test009 is only testing the superior reference. test016 tests subordinate references, but without even trying -C. I think the test should be modified to be run once without and once with -C in order to test the library's behavior. I believe automatic referral chasing should be deprecated, but I fear there are tons of code out there that rely on it.
