User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/6.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; SE 2.X MetaSr 1.0)

Steps to reproduce:

Invoke netscape.ldap.LDAPConnection.rename(String dn,String newRDN,String newParentDN,boolean deleteOldRDN) to move one entry from one ou to another ou, the two OU are all in a referred server. we use the connection which connected to a primary server which contains the referral which contains the two OUs.
I debug the SDK source, it found the entry is not in primary server and will throw a LDAPReferralException, and then catch the exception to handle referral. Then it will established a temporary connection with referred server and re-invoke rename API on the temporary connection. But it only invoke one API wich can rename entry, not invoke the API which can move entry. the primary source as following:
------------
void referralOperation(LDAPConnection connection, 
                          LDAPConstraints cons, int ops, String dn, int scope,
                          String filter, String types[], boolean attrsOnly,
                          LDAPModification mods[], LDAPEntry entry,
                          LDAPAttribute attr,
                          Vector results) throws LDAPException {
......
case JDAPProtocolOp.MODIFY_RDN_REQUEST:
                    connection.rename(dn, filter /* newRDN */, 
                      attrsOnly /* deleteOld */, cons);
                    break;
so this transparently is a bug in source.


Actual results:

Move entry failed.


Expected results:

Move entry successfully with rererral.
