2.4.2.2.2 Chaining LDAP controls from the command line
Alter the controls that the database link forwards by changing the nsTransmittedControls
attribute of the cn=config,cn=chaining database, cn=plugins,cn=config entry. For
example, to forward the virtual list view control, add the following to the database link entry in
the configuration file:
nsTransmittedControls: 2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.9
In addition, if clients of the Directory Server create their own controls and their operations should
to be chained to remote servers, add the OID of the custom control to the
nsTransmittedControls attribute.
The LDAP controls which can be chained and their OIDs are listed in the following table:
Table 2-4 LDAP controls and their OIDs
