!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] may be provided to delegate a subtree.
[{$pagename}] points downward in the DIT to other partitions.
The [referral] object acts as a delegation point, gluing two services together. This mechanism allows for hierarchical directory services to be constructed.
A referral object has a [STRUCTURAL] object class of [Referral] and has the same Distinguished Name as the delegated subtree.
Often the [referral] object may also provide the auxiliary object class [extensibleObject] which allows the entry to contain appropriate [Relative Distinguished Name] values. This is best demonstrated by example.
If the server a.example.net holds dc=example,dc=net and wished to delegate the subtree ou=subtree,dc=example,dc=net to another server b.example.net, the following named referral object would be added to a.example.net:
{{{
dn: dc=subtree,dc=example,dc=net
objectClass: referral
objectClass: extensibleObject
dc: subtree
ref: ldap://b.example.net/dc=subtree,dc=example,dc=net
}}}
The server uses this information to generate referrals and search continuations to subordinate servers.
