Unable to chase v3 reference
I was using SunOne LDAP command line utility 'ldapsearch' to perform a search on Microsoft Active Directory installed on Windows 2003 server from the linux box with kernel 2.1 version. I got the result back from the ldapsearch command but then it hanged for very long time and came back with an error message saying that "Unable to chase v3 reference
If somebody know what does that error message means and how to solve the problem please let me know.
The command and the result is given below
./ldapsearch -b dc=ad,dc=abcdcom,dc=com -h spccaladc01 -p 389 -s sub -DCN=wpsbind,CN=Users,dc=ad,dc=abcdcom,dc=com-w "-" "(&(objectclass=User)(sAMAccountName=PSFT))"
Enter bind password:
