Hello.

Does anybody know if Radiator 2.18.2
with its LDAP2 authentication method
supports LDAP referrals?

We have an LDAP server for our organization
that sits at the top of our LDAP tree, has most data local
and implements referrals for some organization departments to
other LDAP servers within our organization.

Is we use a restrictive base DN for one department (ou=dent,o=auth,c=GR)
AuthBy LDAP2 works fine with ServerChecksPassword.
If we use the general base DN of the top level (o=auth, c=GR)
we get the following error, which seems to say that Radiator
gets back an "LDAP_PARTIAL_RESULTS" answer with referrals from the LDAP 
server and does not know how to deal with it:

Thu Aug 30 16:42:30 2001: DEBUG: Handling request with Handler 'Realm=DEFAULT'

Thu Aug 30 16:42:30 2001: ERR: Disconnecting from LDAP server.

Has anybody tried using Radiator with an LDAP server that
has referrals for at least some part of its contents?

Thanks in advance for any help.
