- company.local
- ad.company.com.au
Both domains are in le même forest et have a bi-direction trust setup. We're migrating to le `ad.company.com.au` at present, however having certains issues avec systems that need to query LDAP.
When doing an LDAP search against soit Domain Controller in `ad.company.com.au` we get a referral to `company.com.au` qui is NOT under AD control:
```
$ ldapsearch -x -h 172.xx.xx.11 -b DC=company,DC=com,DC=au -D "[email protected]" -W
Enter LDAP Password:
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
# with manageDSAit control
#
# search result
search: 2
result: 10 Referral
text: 0000202B: RefErr: DSID-031007EF, data 0, 1 access points
ref 1: 'company.
com.au'
ref: ldap://company.com.au/DC=company,DC=com,DC=au
# numResponses: 1
```
Note le referral points to `company.com.au` qui AD does NOT control -- le domain is `ad.company.com.au` et it is delegated by le `company.com.au` nameservers to le 2 DC's.
Querying le Global Catalog on le même server gives us le results we expect.
So why would le Domain Controller for a domain pas know about le domain in c'est LDAP, tandis que le GC does know?
