Context.REFERRAL search problem

[glenn2041]

Hi all,

I was having a problem connecting to the source, but I solved that by adding Context.REFERRAL = 'follow' to the baseEnvironmentProperties.
But now when I do a search, I'm getting a CommunicationException thrown from

javax.naming.directory.InitialDirContext.NamingEnu meration<SearchResult>search(String name,String filter, SearchControls cons) throws NamingException {
return getURLOrDefaultInitDirCtx(name).search(name, filter, cons);
}

where name="", filter= "(&(objectclass=person)(objectclass=user)(objectclass =organizationalPerson)(sAMAccountName=glenn2041))" and defaultSearchControls on subtree scope.



Instead of searching via the url: ldap://wlg-dc1:389 it's trying to search on ldap://nz.co.company:389
Here's the exception:


org.springframework.ldap.CommunicationException: nz.co.company:389; nested exception is javax.naming.CommunicationException: nz.co.company:389 [Root exception is java.net.UnknownHostException: nz.co.company]

Update:
I tried setting Context.REFERRAL to ignore. It does get the right host, but now throws a PartialResultException
javax.naming.PartialResultException: [LDAP: error code 10 - 0000202B: RefErr: DSID-031006E0, data 0, 1 access points
ref 1: 'nz.co.company'




BTW: I'm using Websphere 6.1 & Spring LDAP 1.2RC1 & MS Active Directory 2003

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

I must admit that my knowledge of referrals is rather limited. However, if you really want to ignore referrals you can set the 'ignorePartialResultException' property of LdapTemplate to true.

Hi all,
I figure out what the problem was:

The contextScope.base was in the incorrect order.
I had set to "DC=nz,DC=co,DC=company" should have been "DC=company,DC=co,DC=nz".

Happy happy happy, joy joy joy!

Cheers
