[Jxplorer-users] Possible bug in underlying java ldap library?

[Chris Betts]

Hi Martin,

The claim from the java folks is that this is an Active
Directory issue :-)

.. the summary (apparently) is that with AD you need to set JX
to 'follow' referrals. Go to the jxconfig.txt file and modify the line:

#option.ldap.referral this is a jdni variable determinning how
referrals are handled\: 'ignore','follow' or 'throw'
option.ldap.referral=ignore

to

option.ldap.referral=follow

... and see if that fixes the problem

cheers!

Hi Chris,
I have found that I can connect to an Active Directory tree
OU=Field Users,dc=ops,dc=mycompany,dc=com - using LDP I get a list
of users.
javax.naming.PartialResultException: [LDAP: error code 10 -
0000202B: RefErr: DSID-0310063C, data 0, 1 access points
ref 1: 'ops.mycompany.com' ]; remaining name
'dc=ops,dc=mycompany,dc=com'
The AD server at my company is somewhat unusual in that it has
three domains on it, using Jxplorer I can connect to mycompany.com,
but not ops.mycompany.com.
I think this is not a bug in jxplorer as I have the same problem
with another JNDI LDAP tool, paddle for confluence (by Atlassian).
Do you know where I can check a list of bugs for the underlying
java ldap library or is there a gotcha or workaround I need to be
aware of?
Thanks,
Martin.
