LDAP Enhancements to Support Recursion and LDAP
URL Support
Sendmail 8.13.3 supports LDAP recursion based on the TYPEs given to
attribute specifications in an LDAP map definition. This allows LDAP
queries to return a new query, a DN, or an LDAP URL which will in turn
be queried.
LDAP recursion allows you to add TYPEs to the search attributes on an
LDAP map specification. The syntax for LDAP recursion is as follows:
-v ATTRIBUTE[:TYPE[:OBJECTCLASS[|OBJECTCLASS|...]]]
Following are the various TYPEs available:
