> # URLs Tab of the Referral Dialog

> Use this dialog to define one or more URLs that are the targets of the referral. The target is another entry in the directory tree or anywhere on another server that may be returned when a client accesses the DN of the referral.

> Referral List. This list shows the full text of the URLs that are the targets of the referral. A request on the DN of the referral will return all these URLs as a result.

> Delete. Select a URL in the list and click this button to remove it from the list.

> Change. Select a URL in the list, and its value will appear in the text field below. Modify the value in the field and click this button to modify the URL in the list.

> Add. Type an LDAP URL in the text field and click this button to add it to the list above. You may also select a URL in the list, modify its value in the text field, and use this button to add it as a new URL in the list. If the text field contain a string that does not have the syntax of an LDAP URL, you will be prompted to add it as a non-standard referral or to cancel the addition.

> Construct. Click this button to invoke the Construct LDAP URL dialog. This dialog will allow you to enter the hostname and port or encrypted port of a remote server. By default, the target DN on the remote server is the same as the DN of this referral entry, but you may edit this value. Click OK in the dialog, then click Add to add the new LDAP URL to the list.

> Console will follow the selected referral as. This text field shows the bind DN that the Console will use to bind to the remote server listed in the selected URL. The Console keeps a list of hostname and DN pairs that it uses for referral authentication. The Console determines the bind DN by matching a hostname and port in the list to those in the referral URL.

> Referral authentication. This button will invoke the Referral Authentication dialog that you may use to create and edit the Console's list of bind DNs for referrals. Use this button to associate a bind DN and password with a hostname and port number for use in all referrals.
