Hi !
I have configured an slapd/back-meta (slapd_1) which redirects all LDAP messages to an slapd/back-bdb instance (slapd_2). This last slapd instance manages also some other referrals to other slapd/back-bdb instance (slapd_3)
I have configured back-meta to follow the referrals. When sending an LDAPsearch to slapd_1 with a base that I have configured as a referral in slapd_2 (the acual data is stored in slapd_3) I see the "Referral (10)" result code in slapd_1 (I am tracing it) but the back-meta is NOT following that referral.
I tried directly sending the LDAPsearch to slapd_2 using through the ldapsearch commnand (setting the ldap.conf option REFERRAL parameter to "yes") but I see exactely the same (the "10" resul code, the right "ref" parameter -pointing to the right entry in slapd_3) but the command is NOT following the referral.
I tested it with the java LDAPBrowser tool (setting the "follow referrals" option) and it works properly (so now I am sure it is not a problem in the data stored in the backends involved).
Do you know what I am missing? I do not know if I forgot some "configuration" option when compiling/creating the openldap libclient library (when installing openLDAP 2.4) as it is used in both ldapsearch and back-meta (so I am starting to think the problem is in that "common" component) ...
NOTE: I have tried with referrals followng the "ldap://127.0.0.1: ...." and "ldap://localhost:..." patterns (as all slapd instances are running in the same machine) but I got the same error ....
Thanks in advance
Best regards / Antonio
