Referrals...

[Michael <mi...@st...>]

HI!

Back to a python-ldap build with OpenLDAP 1.2.11 libs:

It seems that referral exceptions are not raised if doing an
asynchronous search call. In the example below the entry
ldap://localhost:1389/c=DE is a referral entry holding the ref
attribute ldap://ldap.nameflow.net:1389. l is my LDAP connection
object.

>>> l.options=0
>>> l.search_s('c=DE',ldap.SCOPE_ONELEVEL,'(objectclass=*)')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ldap.PARTIAL_RESULTS: {'desc': 'Partial results and referral
received', 'info':
'Referral:\012ldap://ldap.nameflow.net:1389/c=DE', 'matched':
'c=DE'}

This seems to be ok.

>>> m=l.search('c=DE',ldap.SCOPE_ONELEVEL,'(objectclass=*)')
>>> l.result(m,0)
('RES_SEARCH_RESULT', [])

This seems not ok to me. Shouldn't there be an exception
ldap.PARTIAL_RESULTS raised? My OpenLDAP 2.0.6 slapd logs that a
referral occured immediately after invoking the l.search() method.

Ciao, Michael.
