Control which allows for the management of referrals and other DSA specific entities without processing them: meaning the referrals are treated as regular entries using this control. More information is available in
RFC 3296. Below we have included section 3 of the RFC describing this control:
3. The ManageDsaIT Control The client may provide the ManageDsaIT control with an operation to indicate that the operation is intended to manage objects within the DSA (server) Information Tree. The control causes Directory-specific entries (DSEs), regardless of type, to be treated as normal entries allowing clients to interrogate and update these entries using LDAP operations. A client MAY specify the following control when issuing an add, compare, delete, modify, modifyDN, search request or an extended operation for which the control is defined. The control type is 2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.2. The control criticality may be TRUE or, if FALSE, absent. The control value is absent. When the control is present in the request, the server SHALL NOT generate a referral or continuation reference based upon information held in referral objects and instead SHALL treat the referral object as a normal entry. The server, however, is still free to return referrals for other reasons. When not present, referral objects SHALL be handled as described above. The control MAY cause other objects to be treated as normal entries as defined by subsequent documents.
