Root Referrals
To configure with OpenLDAP's slapd to redirect clients to this global root server, add the following
to your slapd.conf file:
referral ldap://root.openldap.org:389
Other servers have similiar configuration directives. Check your server document under "default" or
"superior" referral.
To allow your Internet (DC) style DNs to be located, you must add a DNS RR to your zone. For
"dc=example,dc=net" hosted at ldap://ldap.example.net:389, you would add the RR:
_ldap._tcp.example.net IN SRV 0 0 389 ldap.example.net.
After loading the above, you should then be able to do:
% ldapsearch -R -b "dc=example,dc=net" -h root.openldap.org "(objectclass=*)"
This should return:
ldap_search: Partial results and referral received
additional info: Referral:
ldap://ldap.example.net:389
To configure with OpenLDAP slapd to redirect clients to this global root server, add the following to
