Creating Suffix Referrals
The following procedure describes creating a referral in a suffix. This means that
the suffix processes operations using a referral rather than a database or database
link. For more information about referrals, refer to Red Hat Directory Server
Deployment Guide .
Creating Suffix Referrals Using the Console
To create a suffix referral using the Console:
1.
In the Directory Server Console, select the Configuration tab.
2.
Under Data in the left pane, click the suffix to which you want to add a referral.
3.
In the Suffix Settings tab, select one of the following radio buttons:
❍
Return Referrals for all Operations.
This means that a referral will be
returned when this suffix receives any request from a client application.
❍
Return Referrals for Update Operations. This means a referral will be
returned when this suffix receives an update request from a client
application. This option is used to redirect update and write requests made
by client applications to a read-only database.
4.
Click the Referrals tab. Enter an LDAP URL in the “Enter a new referral” field,
or click Construct to be guided through the creation of an LDAP URL.
For more information about the structure of LDAP URLs, refer to Appendix C,
“LDAP URLs.”
CAUTION When a suffix is configured to return referrals, the ACIs contained
by the database associated with the suffix are ignored.
