whenever an operation is rooted at O=Digital Airlines or above, or anywhere under O=Digital
Airlines that is not part of the OU=Sales hierarchy.
An operation is sent to the eDirectory LDAP server with a base DN of OU=Dev,O=Digital
Airlines,C=US. A referral is returned pointing to the servers holding that entry or to servers that
have knowledge of the servers holding that entry.
Likewise, a subtree search rooted at O=Digital Airlines,C=US results in a referral to the root DSA.
The root DSA in turn returns referrals to the DSAs mastering OU=Sales and OU=Dev.
So that the eDirectory server can participate in this tree, LDAP Services allows eDirectory to hold
the hierarchical data above it in a partition marked “nonauthoritative.” The objects in the
nonauthoritative area consist only of those entries needed to build the correct DN hierarchy. These
entries are analogous to X.500 “Glue” entries.
In this scenario, the Root, C=US, and O=Digital Airlines objects are held on the eDirectory server in
a nonauthoritative area.
eDirectory allows knowledge information (referral data) to be placed within nonauthoritative
areas.This information is used to return referrals to the LDAP client.
When an LDAP operation takes place in a nonauthoritative area of the eDirectory tree, the LDAP
server locates the correct reference data and returns a referral to the client.
13.9.2 Creating a Nonauthoritative Area
The following figure illustrates the actual data held on the eDirectory server in the federated tree
shown in
“Scenario: Superior Referrals in a Federated Tree” on page 363
.
Notice that entries are placed above OU=Sales, even though these entries are mastered by another
DSA. This placement is necessary to provide the proper DNs for the entries mastered by the
eDirectory server.
To create a nonauthoritative area:
1
Segregate the nonauthoritative data from the authoritative data.
