First, I don’t think this is a general question, but an OpenDJ specific one, and it would have been more appropriate to post in the OpenDJ forum.

Second, what are you trying to achieve ? What do you need the referrals for ?

Hi Ludo,

There are different use cases where an application supports multiple ldap directories.

1) When an organization has one directory for employees and another for
external partners. In this case, the organization does not want to put all the
users in one directory.
2) When an organization has two directories from the same vendor that do not
support chaining, but do support referrals. Normally, in this type of case opendj, a
referral simply gives the client a suggestion about where to look for the user.

for eg, referrals are supported by Microsoft Active Directory where client application can search users between cross domain (i.e. domain1.com and domain2.com ) or different geographical region.

Is it possible with opendj 2.6.x ?

Thanks
Ashish

Yes, it’s possible. Since you have now posted a message in the OpenDJ forum, I will answer there.
