Glad that worked.

Referrals are basically LDAP URLs returned potentially pointing to other
LDAP servers where to look for. The client has to chase the referrals.
This is a broken concept since the LDAPv3 standard says nothing about
which credentials to use when chasing the referral. libldap by default
chased referrals anonymously.
Ciao, Michael.
