Definition
Allows smart referrals to be placed in an entry. The referral object class is a subclass of top and may contain the referral attribute. When an entry includes this object class and has a ref attribute, the server responds to requests involving the entry with a referral to the URL specified rather than with the contents of the entry. However, if the ManageDSAIT control is sent with a request, the entry contents are processed and no referral is returned.
For more information on ManageDSAIT, see section 7 of the the IETF working document,
