Thanks for the quick responses Why I started to looks at referrals: We are providing users with the config for setting up LDAP integration One of the config parameters is "Ldap deref mode (never, searching, finding, always)" which is mapped directly to AliasDerefMode enum
And get this report https://markmail.org/message/n23y45supvgawxmw user state referrals are not followed in his config So I would like to write unit test for this :) I'll check all the links and hopefully will be able to do it :)) On Thu, 16 Apr 2020 at 11:10, Emmanuel Lécharny <[email protected]> wrote: > > On 15/04/2020 19:48, Stefan Seelmann wrote: > > On 4/15/20 7:14 PM, Maxim Solodovnik wrote: > >> Thanks a lot for detailed response! > >> > >> My test LDAP server is created in java unit test > >> > https://github.com/apache/openmeetings/blob/master/openmeetings-web/src/test/java/org/apache/openmeetings/ldap/TestLdap.java#L69 > >> > >> Shall I start 2 servers to test referrals? > > I don't think it's required, it totally valid that referrals point to > > the same server. > > You can set a referral on your own server.
