Hi Tim, It is possible to configure Referrals (default ,smart and suffix referrals also). Referrals Configuration: dn: cn=config changetype: modify replace: nsslapd-referral nsslapd-referral: ldap://$LdapHost:$PORT2/o=referral.com Here PORT2 and LdapHost is the port number and hostname of server two to which the server1 will be referring. This is the configuration of DEFAULT Referrals Regards, R.Gopinath >> Tim Hartmann wrote: >> >>> Hi >>> >>> I've got a question on referrals and proxy in RHDS.
