Hi Tim,
It is possible to configure Referrals (default ,smart and suffix referrals
also).
Referrals Configuration:
dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: nsslapd-referral
nsslapd-referral: ldap://$LdapHost:$PORT2/o=referral.com
Here PORT2 and LdapHost is the port number and hostname of server two to
which the server1 will be referring. This is the configuration of DEFAULT
Referrals
Regards,
R.Gopinath
