What is referral chasing?

Referral chasing is an option you can use with LDAP version 3 and later to allow IWSVA to recognize and apply security policies to "unfamiliar" accounts.

For example, say a guest user logs in using credentials from a part of the corporate network that is not covered by the local LDAP server -- someone from the German office logging in locally to the US office. Upon log on, IWSVA will check first the local LDAP server for the user and apply the appropriate security policies. If the user is not found, with referral chasing configured and enabled, IWSVA will check the 2nd, and/or 3rd LDAP server rather than reject the log on.
