APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The Hub TEMS does not accommodate LDAP server environments that utilise referrals. In such environments, a request to one LDAP server can return a referral to another instead of the expected results of the search. Similarly, an attempt to bind/authenticate a user to the configured LDAP server will simply fail if the user's LDAP entry exists in a referred server.
Local fix
The code has been adapted to accommodate referrals to other LDAP servers and to follow those referrals in the process of authenticating a user.
