public class ManageDsaITControl
extends org.apache.directory.shared.asn1.Asn1Object

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.
