JNDI allows referral following to be specified when a context is created, using the Context.REFERRAL property. However, I want to change referral following on a per-search basis.

JNDI allows referral following to be specified when a context is created, using the
Context.REFERRAL
property.
However, I want to change referral following on a per-search basis. On some searches I want to follow referrals, and on some other searches I do not want to follow referrals.
OpenLDAP has an
LDAPConstraints
class with a
setReferralFollowing
method, but I have not seen any similar functionality in JNDI.
The JNDI class
SearchControls
has a method called
setDerefLinkFlag
, which sounds promising, but I could not find any documentation that explained what a "link" is and what "dereferencing" it means.
I thought that link dereferencing might had something to do with dereferencing aliases, but I found the following in the in the JNDI tutorial:
Note that the "dereference links" flag in the
SearchControls
class is not related to aliases.
So if the
setDerefLinkFlag
method does not apply to aliases, what does it apply to? And can I use this to turn referral following off and on on a per-search basis?
