[python3-ldap] Key error help

[python3ldap]

Hello Andrew,
I think that Joseph's is the right solution. In LDAP there are two
ways a server can use referral, "global referral" or "continuation
referral".

A global referral is a single response to an operation and means that
the contacted server "cannot or will not perform the operation and
that one or more other servers may be able to" (RFC4511, part 4.1.10)
while a continuation referral can be mixed to the search entry results
and means that the server "knows" that you could find additional
entries in the referred server. Both of these referral kinds return
the same "uri" attribute that is a list of servers (with dn of the
base) to contact.

python3-ldap can automatically follow the "global referral", issuing
the same operation on one uf the server specified in the uri, in a
recursive way, up to 10 levels (as specified in the RFC) and avoiding
looping between servers, but not the continuation referrals. I should
try to extend the referral "machinery" to the "continuation" types,
but unitl now I didn't get a server where to test them. I put this
feature in the "work to do" queue in the roadmap of the project.

Bye,
Giovanni

Have fun,
