public final class ManageDsaITRequestControl
extends Control

This class provides an implementation of the ManageDsaIT control as described in RFC 3296. This control may be used to request that the directory server treat all entries as if they were regular entries.

One of the most common uses of the ManageDsaIT control is to request that the directory server to treat an entry containing the "referral" object class as a regular entry rather than a smart referral. Normally, when the server encounters an entry with the referral object class, it sends a referral with the URLs contained in the ref attribute of that entry. However, if the ManageDsaIT control is included then the operation will attempt to operate on the referral definition itself rather than sending that referral to the client.

Example

The following example demonstrates the use of the ManageDsaIT control to delete an entry that may or may not be a referral:
 // Establish a connection to the directory server.  Even though it's the
 // default behavior, we'll explicitly configure the connection to not follow
 // referrals.
 LDAPConnectionOptions connectionOptions = new LDAPConnectionOptions();
 connectionOptions.setFollowReferrals(false);
 LDAPConnection connection = new LDAPConnection(connectionOptions,
      serverAddress, serverPort, bindDN, bindPassword);

 // Try to delete an entry that will result in a referral.  Without the
 // ManageDsaIT request control, we should get an exception.
 DeleteRequest deleteRequest =
      new DeleteRequest("ou=referral entry,dc=example,dc=com");
 LDAPResult deleteResult;
 try
 {
   deleteResult = connection.delete(deleteRequest);
 }
 catch (LDAPException le)
 {
   // This exception is expected because we should get a referral, and
   // the connection is configured to not follow referrals.
   deleteResult = le.toLDAPResult();
   ResultCode resultCode = le.getResultCode();
   String errorMessageFromServer = le.getDiagnosticMessage();
   String[] referralURLs = le.getReferralURLs();
 }
 LDAPTestUtils.assertResultCodeEquals(deleteResult, ResultCode.REFERRAL);
 LDAPTestUtils.assertHasReferral(deleteResult);

 // Update the delete request to include the ManageDsaIT request control,
 // which will cause the server to try to delete the referral entry instead
 // of returning a referral response.  We'll assume that the delete is
 // successful.
 deleteRequest.addControl(new ManageDsaITRequestControl());
 try
 {
   deleteResult = connection.delete(deleteRequest);
 }
 catch (LDAPException le)
 {
   // The delete shouldn't trigger a referral, but it's possible that the
   // operation failed for some other reason (e.g., entry doesn't exist, the
   // user doesn't have permission to delete it, etc.).
   deleteResult = le.toLDAPResult();
 }
 LDAPTestUtils.assertResultCodeEquals(deleteResult, ResultCode.SUCCESS);
 LDAPTestUtils.assertMissingReferral(deleteResult);

 connection.close();
