This control modifies the way the server processes the requests in a way that aren't suitable for most of the client usages. Typically, if you use referrals, then a search request with the manageDSAIT control will *not* return a referal response, and will instead return entries with referrals as a normal entry. Actually, this control is mainly used when you want to manage special entries in the server. This will typically be used to modify referrals, something you won't be able to do without the control. You would learn more about it by ready the (arid) RFC 3296 (https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3296.txt) Hope it helps. -- Emmanuel Lecharny Symas.com directory.apache.org
