Support "follow-referral" mode #88

Open zabhi opened 4 years ago

I am using this module via passport-ldap. The directory I am working with is setup with referrals to a second LDAP server. The library is unable to chase the referrals to the target server.

Is this the expected? Can I do something to make it follow the referrals?

Yes, expected in a sense that it is not implemented. The underlying ldapjs library handles all LDAP related things really, and it does not follow referrals automatically. Quick search revealed that it should return the referrals so implementing chasing should be possible. node-activedirectory has this implemented in this commit which should give some insight how it could be implemented.

Unfortunately I find it unlikely that I'd have time to do this any time soon, especially when I don't have access to a setup like yours. PR would of course be very welcome.
