how to delete a Referral

From: Roland S. <rol...@ep...> - 2001-04-26 13:45:54

Hi,

how can I delete a referral from an LDAP tree?

I'm preparing an $entry and update:
-----
$entry = Net::LDAP::Entry->new;
$entry->dn("ref=\"ldap://asser/c=us,o=epigenomics\",o=epigenomics");
$entry->changetype("delete");
$entry->update($ldap);
-----

The result is:
return code: 10, message: Referral received

Thank you!

bye,

I don't know if the representation of knowledge (which is used when
returning a referral/continuation reference) over LDAP is standardized or
not. (It doesn't seem to be.)

As it is therefore a proprietrary feature, you will have to check your
server's documentation. You might find that you need to use a control. If
there is a control called something like managedsait, that's the one you
should probably use.

Cheers,

Chris

Using OpenLDAP 2.0.7 now, I know that the client tools ldapmodify and
ldapdelete use the Control "ManageDsaIT". I tried this one, but didn't
succeed:
-----
$ldap->delete("ref=\"ldap://asser/c=us,o=epigenomics\",o=epigenomics",
  control => {type => "ManageDsaIT", value => 1} );
-----

Any hint?

Thanks in advance!

type need to be an OID

Tried:

$mesg =
$ldap->delete("ref=\"ldap://asser/c=us,o=epigenomics\",o=epigenomics",
  control => {type => "2.16.16.840.1.113730.3.4.2", value => 1} );

But same error.

Could you please give me any hint to a solution or documentation?

Thanks.

$mesg =

  control => {type => "2.16.16.840.1.113730.3.4.2"});

(perl-ldap 0.23)

It is the right OID, right? ;)

Yes.

See http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-zeilenga-ldap-namedref-03.txt  for details on Named Subordinate Referrals in LDAP.  (OpenLDAP
2.0.7 implements an earlier draft, but it should be close enough in
regards to this usage).

I also suggest you use the OpenLDAP provided ldapdelete(1) with -MM
to determine behavior of OpenLDAP.  If you have issue with this
behavior, start a thread on the OpenLDAP-software mailing list
<http://www.openldap.org/lists/>.

No!

Thanks for the reference, I got the right OID: 2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.2
:-)

The wrong one I got from an article searched via OpenLDAP Website Search
and didn't verify it.

So sorry, and thanks everybody for the help!

Have a nice day...
