Specifies whether to follow LDAP referrals returned by the LDAP server. When enabled, the provider retrieves data from the referred servers instead of the original server.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

This property specifies whether the provider should follow referrals returned by the LDAP server during queries. Referrals are pointers to other LDAP servers that may contain the requested data. When FollowReferrals is set to true, the provider connects to the referral servers to retrieve data. Note that data operations such as INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE cannot be performed on referral servers unless the connection string is updated to connect directly to those servers.
