ReferralChasingOption Enumeration
Specifies if and how referral chasing is pursued.
[Visual Basic] <Serializable> Public Enum ReferralChasingOption [C#] [Serializable] public enum ReferralChasingOption [C++] [Serializable] __value public enum ReferralChasingOption [JScript] public Serializable enum ReferralChasingOption
Remarks
When a server determines that other servers hold relevant information, in part or as a whole, it may refer the client to another server to obtain the result. Referral chasing is the action taken by a client to contact the referenced server to continue the directory search.
Use the constants of this enumeration to set up search preferences for referral chasing. The action amounts to assigning the appropriate fields of DirectorySearcher to elements of the ReferralChasingOption enumeration.
The Active Directory Service Interface (ADSI) Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) provider supports external referrals for paged searches, but does not support subordinate referrals during paging.
Members
| Member name | Description |
|---|---|
| All | Chase referrals of either the subordinate or external type. |
| External | Chase external referrals. |
| None | Never chase the referred-to server. Setting this option prevents a client from contacting other servers in a referral process. |
| Subordinate | Chase only subordinate referrals which are a subordinate naming context in a directory tree. The ADSI LDAP provider always turns off this flag for paged searches. |
