Package netscape.ldap
Interface LDAPRebind
public interface LDAPRebind
Specifies how to retrieve authentication information automatically
for referrals. If you have set up the search constraints (or the options
in the
LDAPConnection
object) to use automatic referral,
you must define a class that implements this interface.
If no class implements this interface, clients that follow automatic referrals are authenticated anonymously to subsequent LDAP servers. The following example is a simple class that implements this interface. Objects of the myLDAPRebind class check the host and port of the referred LDAP server. If the host and port are "alway.mcom.com:389", the directory manager's name and password are used to authenticate. For all other LDAP servers, anonymous authentication is used.
