[Jxplorer-users] Re: JXplorer not work with referral to master slapd?

[Chris Betts]

Hi Henry,

I'm afraid JXplorer's handling of referrels is not very good, and by
default referral handling is turned off.

You can go to the configuration file 'dxconfig.txt', and change the
line:

option.ldap.referral=ignore

to

option.ldap.referral=follow

.. and see if that helps, but I'm afraid this is a known weakness of
JX :-(. There are a number of problems here, ranging from problems
with handling relative names to problems with authenticating to
multiple directories that we still haven't worked out...

Hello there,
 
I start using JXplorer only a few days. It's very powerful and
convenient. Thanks for the great product.
 
Maybe I didn't find the setting, but when I connect to a slave slapd
(I use OpenLDAP) with JXplorer and try to edit some entries, I got
error code 10 - Referral]". The slave slapd has a updateref in its
slapd.conf. I think JXplorer should connect to the master slapd which
it gets from the referral and send the request. I tried LDAP
Browser/Editor 2.8.2 and it does contact master slapd after gettting
referral. Is there any setting in JXplorer which can enable this
feature?
 
Thanks in advance,
