+ Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
+ improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
+ Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
+ and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

+
+Abstract
+
+ This document details schema and protocol elements for representing
+ and managing named subordinate references in Lightweight Directory
+ Access Protocol (LDAP) Directories.
+
+Conventions
+
+ Schema definitions are provided using LDAPv3 description formats
+ [RFC2252]. Definitions provided here are formatted (line wrapped)
+ for readability.
+
+ The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
+ "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" used in
+ this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119].
+
+1. Background and Intended Usage
+
+ The broadening of interest in LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access
+ Protocol) [RFC2251] directories beyond their use as front ends to
+ X.500 [X.500] directories has created a need to represent knowledge
+ information in a more general way. Knowledge information is
+ information about one or more servers maintained in another server,
+ used to link servers and services together.
+
+ This document details schema and protocol elements for representing
+ and manipulating named subordinate references in LDAP directories. A
+ referral object is used to hold subordinate reference information in
+
+
+
+Zeilenga Standards Track [Page 1]
+
+RFC 3296 Named Subordinate References in LDAP Directories July 2002
+
+
+ the directory. These referral objects hold one or more URIs
+ [RFC2396] contained in values of the ref attribute type and are used
+ to generate protocol referrals and continuations.
+
+ A control, ManageDsaIT, is defined to allow manipulation of referral
+ and other special objects as normal objects. As the name of control
+ implies, it is intended to be analogous to the ManageDsaIT service
+ option described in X.511(97) [X.511].
+
+ Other forms of knowledge information are not detailed by this
+ document. These forms may be described in subsequent documents.
+
+ This document details subordinate referral processing requirements
+ for servers. This document does not describe protocol syntax and
+ semantics. This is detailed in RFC 2251 [RFC2251].
+
+ This document does not detail use of subordinate knowledge references
+ to support replicated environments nor distributed operations (e.g.,
+ chaining of operations from one server to other servers).
+
+2. Schema
+
+2.1. The referral Object Class
+
+ A referral object is a directory entry whose structural object class
+ is (or is derived from) the referral object class.
+
+ ( 2.16.840.1.113730.3.2.6
+ NAME 'referral'
+ DESC 'named subordinate reference object'
+ STRUCTURAL
+ MUST ref )
+
+ The referral object class is a structural object class used to
+ represent a subordinate reference in the directory. The referral
+ object class SHOULD be used in conjunction with the extensibleObject
+ object class to support the naming attributes used in the entry's
+ Distinguished Name (DN) [RFC2253].
+
+ Referral objects are normally instantiated at DSEs immediately
+ subordinate to object entries within a naming context held by the
+ DSA. Referral objects are analogous to X.500 subordinate knowledge
+ (subr) DSEs [X.501].
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Zeilenga Standards Track [Page 2]
+
+RFC 3296 Named Subordinate References in LDAP Directories July 2002
+
+
+ In the presence of a ManageDsaIT control, referral objects are
+ treated as normal entries as described in section 3. Note that the
+ ref attribute is operational and will only be returned in a search
+ entry response when requested.
+
+ In the absence of a ManageDsaIT control, the content of referral
+ objects are used to construct referrals and search references as
+ described in Section 4 and, as such, the referral entries are not
+ themselves visible to clients.
+
+2.2 The ref Attribute Type
+
+ ( 2.16.840.1.113730.3.1.34
+ NAME 'ref'
+ DESC 'named reference - a labeledURI'
+ EQUALITY caseExactMatch
+ SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15
+ USAGE distributedOperation )
+
+ The ref attribute type has directoryString syntax and is case
+ sensitive. The ref attribute is multi-valued. Values placed in the
+ attribute MUST conform to the specification given for the labeledURI
+ attribute [RFC2079]. The labeledURI specification defines a format
+ that is a URI, optionally followed by whitespace and a label. This
+ document does not make use of the label portion of the syntax.
+ Future documents MAY enable new functionality by imposing additional
+ structure on the label portion of the syntax as it appears in the ref
+ attribute.
+
+ If the URI contained in a ref attribute value refers to a LDAP
+ [RFC2251] server, it MUST be in the form of a LDAP URL [RFC2255].
+ The LDAP URL SHOULD NOT contain an explicit scope specifier, filter,
+ attribute description list, or any extensions. The LDAP URL SHOULD
+ contain a non-empty DN. The handling of LDAP URLs with absent or
+ empty DN parts or with explicit scope specifier is not defined by
+ this specification.
+
+ Other URI schemes MAY be used so long as all operations returning
+ referrals based upon the value could be performed. This document
+ does not detail use of non-LDAP URIs. This is left to future
+ specifications.
+
+ The referential integrity of the URI SHOULD NOT be validated by the
+ server holding or returning the URI (whether as a value of the
+ attribute or as part of a referral result or search reference
+ response).
+
+
+
+
+
+Zeilenga Standards Track [Page 3]
+
+RFC 3296 Named Subordinate References in LDAP Directories July 2002
+
+
+ When returning a referral result or search continuation, the server
+ MUST NOT return the separator or label portions of the attribute
+ values as part of the reference. When the attribute contains
+ multiple values, the URI part of each value is used to construct the
+ referral result or search continuation.
+
+ The ref attribute values SHOULD NOT be used as a relative name-
+ component of an entry's DN [RFC2253].
+
+ This document uses the ref attribute in conjunction with the referral
+ object class to represent subordinate references. The ref attribute
+ may be used for other purposes as defined by other documents.
+
+3. The ManageDsaIT Control
+
+ The client may provide the ManageDsaIT control with an operation to
+ indicate that the operation is intended to manage objects within the
+ DSA (server) Information Tree. The control causes Directory-specific
+ entries (DSEs), regardless of type, to be treated as normal entries
+ allowing clients to interrogate and update these entries using LDAP
+ operations.
+
+ A client MAY specify the following control when issuing an add,
+ compare, delete, modify, modifyDN, search request or an extended
+ operation for which the control is defined.
+
+ The control type is 2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.2. The control criticality
+ may be TRUE or, if FALSE, absent. The control value is absent.
+
+ When the control is present in the request, the server SHALL NOT
+ generate a referral or continuation reference based upon information
+ held in referral objects and instead SHALL treat the referral object
+ as a normal entry. The server, however, is still free to return
+ referrals for other reasons. When not present, referral objects
+ SHALL be handled as described above.
+
+ The control MAY cause other objects to be treated as normal entries
+ as defined by subsequent documents.
+
+4. Named Subordinate References
+
+ A named subordinate reference is constructed by instantiating a
+ referral object in the referencing server with ref attribute values
+ which point to the corresponding subtree maintained in the referenced
+ server. In general, the name of the referral object is the same as
+ the referenced object and this referenced object is a context prefix
+ [X.501].
+
+
+
+
+Zeilenga Standards Track [Page 4]
+
+RFC 3296 Named Subordinate References in LDAP Directories July 2002
+
+
+ That is, if server A holds "DC=example,DC=net" and server B holds
+ "DC=sub,DC=example,DC=net", server A may contain a referral object
+ named "DC=sub,DC=example,DC=net" which contains a ref attribute with
+ value of "ldap://B/DC=sub,DC=example,DC=net".
+
+ dn: DC=sub,DC=example,DC=net
+ dc: sub
+ ref: ldap://B/DC=sub,DC=example,DC=net
+ objectClass: referral
+ objectClass: extensibleObject
+
+ Typically the DN of the referral object and the DN of the object in
+ the referenced server are the same.
+
+ If the ref attribute has multiple values, all the DNs contained
+ within the LDAP URLs SHOULD be equivalent. Administrators SHOULD
+ avoid configuring naming loops using referrals.
+
+ Named references MUST be treated as normal entries if the request
+ includes the ManageDsaIT control as described in section 3.
+
+5. Scenarios
+
+ The following sections contain specifications of how referral objects
+ should be used in different scenarios followed by examples that
+ illustrate that usage. The scenarios described here consist of
+ referral object handling when finding target of a non-search
+ operation, when finding the base of a search operation, and when
+ generating search references. Lastly, other operation processing
+ considerations are presented.
+
+ It is to be noted that, in this document, a search operation is
+ conceptually divided into two distinct, sequential phases: (1)
+ finding the base object where the search is to begin, and (2)
+ performing the search itself. The first phase is similar to, but not
+ the same as, finding the target of a non-search operation.
+
+ It should also be noted that the ref attribute may have multiple
+ values and, where these sections refer to a single ref attribute
+ value, multiple ref attribute values may be substituted and SHOULD be
+ processed and returned (in any order) as a group in a referral or
+ search reference in the same way as described for a single ref
+ attribute value.
+
+ Search references returned for a given request may be returned in any
+ order.
+
+
+

+
+RFC 3296 Named Subordinate References in LDAP Directories July 2002
+
+
+5.1. Example Configuration
+
+ For example, suppose the contacted server (hosta) holds the entry
+ "O=MNN,C=WW" and the entry "CN=Manager,O=MNN,C=WW" and the following
+ referral objects:
+
+ dn: OU=People,O=MNN,C=WW
+ ou: People
+ ref: ldap://hostb/OU=People,O=MNN,C=US
+ ref: ldap://hostc/OU=People,O=MNN,C=US
+ objectClass: referral
+ objectClass: extensibleObject
+
+ dn: OU=Roles,O=MNN,C=WW
+ ou: Roles
+ ref: ldap://hostd/OU=Roles,O=MNN,C=WW
+ objectClass: referral
+ objectClass: extensibleObject
+
+ The first referral object provides the server with the knowledge that
+ subtree "OU=People,O=MNN,C=WW" is held by hostb and hostc (e.g., one
+ is the master and the other a shadow). The second referral object
+ provides the server with the knowledge that the subtree
+ "OU=Roles,O=MNN,C=WW" is held by hostd.
+
+ Also, in the context of this document, the "nearest naming context"
+ means the deepest context which the object is within. That is, if
+ the object is within multiple naming contexts, the nearest naming
+ context is the one which is subordinate to all other naming contexts
+ the object is within.
+
+5.2. Target Object Considerations
+
+ This section details referral handling for add, compare, delete,
+ modify, and modify DN operations. If the client requests any of
+ these operations, there are four cases that the server must handle
+ with respect to the target object.
+
+ The DN part MUST be modified such that it refers to the appropriate
+ target in the referenced server (as detailed below). Even where the
+ DN to be returned is the same as the target DN, the DN part SHOULD
+ NOT be trimmed.
+
+ In cases where the URI to be returned is a LDAP URL, the server
+ SHOULD trim any present scope, filter, or attribute list from the URI
+ before returning it. Critical extensions MUST NOT be trimmed or
+ modified.
+
+
+
+
+Zeilenga Standards Track [Page 6]
+
+RFC 3296 Named Subordinate References in LDAP Directories July 2002
+
+
+ Case 1: The target object is not held by the server and is not within
+ or subordinate to any naming context nor subordinate to any
+ referral object held by the server.
+
+ The server SHOULD process the request normally as appropriate for
+ a non-existent base which is not within any naming context of the
+ server (generally return noSuchObject or a referral based upon
+ superior knowledge reference information). This document does not
+ detail management or processing of superior knowledge reference
+ information.
+
+ Case 2: The target object is held by the server and is a referral
+ object.
+
+ The server SHOULD return the URI value contained in the ref
+ attribute of the referral object appropriately modified as
+ described above.
+
+ Example: If the client issues a modify request for the target object
+ of "OU=People,O=MNN,c=WW", the server will return:
+
+ ModifyResponse (referral) {
+ ldap://hostb/OU=People,O=MNN,C=WW
+ ldap://hostc/OU=People,O=MNN,C=WW
+ }
+
+ Case 3: The target object is not held by the server, but the nearest
+ naming context contains no referral object which the target object
+ is subordinate to.
+
+ If the nearest naming context contains no referral object which
+ the target is subordinate to, the server SHOULD process the
+ request as appropriate for a nonexistent target (generally return
+ noSuchObject).
+
+ Case 4: The target object is not held by the server, but the nearest
+ naming context contains a referral object which the target object
+ is subordinate to.
+
+ If a client requests an operation for which the target object is
+ not held by the server and the nearest naming context contains a
+ referral object which the target object is subordinate to, the
+ server SHOULD return a referral response constructed from the URI
+ portion of the ref value of the referral object.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Zeilenga Standards Track [Page 7]
+
+RFC 3296 Named Subordinate References in LDAP Directories July 2002
+
+
+ Example: If the client issues an add request where the target object
+ has a DN of "CN=Manager,OU=Roles,O=MNN,C=WW", the server will
+ return:
+
+ AddResponse (referral) {
+ ldap://hostd/CN=Manager,OU=Roles,O=MNN,C=WW"
+ }
+
+ Note that the DN part of the LDAP URL is modified such that it
+ refers to the appropriate entry in the referenced server.
+
+5.3. Base Object Considerations
+
+ This section details referral handling for base object processing
+ within search operations. Like target object considerations for
+ non-search operations, there are the four cases.
+
+ In cases where the URI to be returned is a LDAP URL, the server MUST
+ provide an explicit scope specifier from the LDAP URL prior to
+ returning it. In addition, the DN part MUST be modified such that it
+ refers to the appropriate target in the referenced server (as
+ detailed below).
+
+ If aliasing dereferencing was necessary in finding the referral
+ object, the DN part of the URI MUST be replaced with the base DN as
+ modified by the alias dereferencing such that the return URL refers
+ to the new target object per [RFC2251, 4.1.11].
+
+ Critical extensions MUST NOT be trimmed nor modified.
+
+ Case 1: The base object is not held by the server and is not within
+ nor subordinate to any naming context held by the server.
+
+ The server SHOULD process the request normally as appropriate for
+ a non-existent base which not within any naming context of the
+ server (generally return a superior referral or noSuchObject).
+ This document does not detail management or processing of superior
+ knowledge references.
+
+ Case 2: The base object is held by the server and is a referral
+ object.
+
+ The server SHOULD return the URI value contained in the ref
+ attribute of the referral object appropriately modified as
+ described above.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Zeilenga Standards Track [Page 8]
+
+RFC 3296 Named Subordinate References in LDAP Directories July 2002
+
+
+ Example: If the client issues a subtree search in which the base
+ object is "OU=Roles,O=MNN,C=WW", the server will return
+
+ SearchResultDone (referral) {
+ ldap://hostd/OU=Roles,O=MNN,C=WW??sub
+ }
+
+ If the client were to issue a base or oneLevel search instead of
+ subtree, the returned LDAP URL would explicitly specify "base" or
+ "one", respectively, instead of "sub".
+
+ Case 3: The base object is not held by the server, but the nearest
+ naming context contains no referral object which the base object
+ is subordinate to.
+
+ If the nearest naming context contains no referral object which
+ the base is subordinate to, the request SHOULD be processed
+ normally as appropriate for a nonexistent base (generally return
+ noSuchObject).
+
+ Case 4: The base object is not held by the server, but the nearest
+ naming context contains a referral object which the base object is
+ subordinate to.
+
+ If a client requests an operation for which the target object is
+ not held by the server and the nearest naming context contains a
+ referral object which the target object is subordinate to, the
+ server SHOULD return a referral response which is constructed from
+ the URI portion of the ref value of the referral object.
+
+ Example: If the client issues a base search request for
+ "CN=Manager,OU=Roles,O=MNN,C=WW", the server will return
+
+ SearchResultDone (referral) {
+ ldap://hostd/CN=Manager,OU=Roles,O=MNN,C=WW??base"
+ }
+
+ If the client were to issue a subtree or oneLevel search instead
+ of subtree, the returned LDAP URL would explicitly specify "sub"
+ or "one", respectively, instead of "base".
+
+ Note that the DN part of the LDAP URL is modified such that it
+ refers to the appropriate entry in the referenced server.

+
+
+5.4. Search Continuation Considerations
+
+ For search operations, once the base object has been found and
+ determined not to be a referral object, the search may progress. Any
+ entry matching the filter and scope of the search which is not a
+ referral object is returned to the client normally as described in
+ [RFC2251].
+
+ For each referral object within the requested scope, regardless of
+ the search filter, the server SHOULD return a SearchResultReference
+ which is constructed from the URI component of values of the ref
+ attribute. If the URI component is not a LDAP URL, it should be
+ returned as is. If the LDAP URL's DN part is absent or empty, the DN
+ part must be modified to contain the DN of the referral object. If
+ the URI component is a LDAP URL, the URI SHOULD be modified to add an
+ explicit scope specifier.
+
+ Subtree Example:
+
+ If a client requests a subtree search of "O=MNN,C=WW", then in
+ addition to any entries within scope which match the filter, hosta
+ will also return two search references as the two referral objects
+ are within scope. One possible response might be:
+
+ SearchEntry for O=MNN,C=WW
+ SearchResultReference {
+ ldap://hostb/OU=People,O=MNN,C=WW??sub
+ ldap://hostc/OU=People,O=MNN,C=WW??sub
+ }
+ SearchEntry for CN=Manager,O=MNN,C=WW
+ SearchResultReference {
+ ldap://hostd/OU=Roles,O=MNN,C=WW??sub
+ }
+ SearchResultDone (success)
+
+ One Level Example:
+
+ If a client requests a one level search of "O=MNN,C=WW" then, in
+ addition to any entries one level below the "O=MNN,C=WW" entry
+ matching the filter, the server will also return two search
+ references as the two referral objects are within scope. One
+ possible sequence is shown:

+ }
+ SearchEntry for CN=Manager,O=MNN,C=WW
+ SearchResultReference {
+ ldap://hostd/OU=Roles,O=MNN,C=WW??base
+ }
+ SearchResultDone (success)
+
+ Note: Unlike the examples in Section 4.5.3.1 of RFC 2251, the LDAP
+ URLs returned with the SearchResultReference messages contain, as
+ required by this specification, an explicit scope specifier.
+
+5.6. Other Considerations
+
+ This section details processing considerations for other operations.
+
+5.6.1 Bind
+
+ Servers SHOULD NOT return referral result code if the bind name (or
+ authentication identity or authorization identity) is (or is
+ subordinate to) a referral object but MAY use the knowledge
+ information to process the bind request (such as in support a future
+ distributed operation specification). Where the server makes no use
+ of the knowledge information, the server processes the request
+ normally as appropriate for a non-existent authentication or
+ authorization identity (e.g., return invalidCredentials).
+
+5.6.2 Modify DN
+
+ If the newSuperior is a referral object or is subordinate to a
+ referral object, the server SHOULD return affectsMultipleDSAs. If
+ the newRDN already exists but is a referral object, the server SHOULD
+ return affectsMultipleDSAs instead of entryAlreadyExists.
+
+6. Security Considerations
+
+ This document defines mechanisms that can be used to tie LDAP (and
+ other) servers together. The information used to tie services
+ together should be protected from unauthorized modification. If the
+ server topology information is not public information, it should be
+ protected from unauthorized disclosure as well.
