Overview#

SERVER_SEARCH_FLAG_PHANTOM_ROOT (SSFPR) is a "Flag" passed to the LDAP_SERVER_SEARCH_OPTIONS_OID which is used with an LDAP Search request to control various behaviors.For Microsoft Active Directory this instructs the server to search all NamingContext replicas except the Application Directory Partitions NamingContext replicas that are subordinate to the search base, even if the search base is not instantiated on the server.

For AD LDS, the behavior is the same except that it also includes Application Directory Partitions NamingContext replicas in the search. !! More Information There might be more information for this subject on one of the following:
