#401 Connection callback not available in older version of OpenLDAP
Closed: Fixed Opened by sbose.

Closed: Fixed
Reopen Issue

To support LDAP referrals OpenLDAP's connection callback are used to retrieve the file descriptor of the LDAP connection. This callback is only available in OpenLDAP version 2.4.10 or later. If the callback is not available the old way of retrieving the file descriptor of the main connection is used, which cannot handle LDAP referrals.

As a consequence at the moment sssd cannot support LDAP referral on older distributions like RHEL5 or SLES10.
