Description

1. Start server, then add this entry:

dn: ou=test,ou=system
objectclass: referral
ref: ldap://somewhere/ou=test,ou=system

2. Search the entry, it will return a search reference:

ldapsearch -h localhost -p 10389 -D uid=admin,ou=system -w secret -x -b "ou=system"

1. search reference
   ref: ldap://somewhere/ou=test,ou=system??sub

3. Restart the server, then run the same search:

ldapsearch -h localhost -p 10389 -D uid=admin,ou=system -w secret -x -b "ou=system"

1. test, system
   dn: ou=test,ou=system
   ou: test
   objectclass: referral
   objectclass: top

The referral is now returned as a regular entry, not a search reference.
