The LdapClientDeref property tells the directory server what to do with any referral objects it encounters in the directory information tree.
The LdapClientDeref property applies to mechanisms that support referral chasing.
Do not change the default setting for this property without first contacting Teradata Support Center for assistance.

Editing Guidelines
Do not attempt to reset this value without Teradata Support Center assistance.
- To set a value, you must manually add this property to the TDGSS configuration file on needed mechanisms. See Editing Configuration Files.
- Edit this property on database nodes.
- Use the default setting, never, for all external authentication mechanisms to prevent referral chasing, unless you have a good reason to follow referrals.
- If LdapClientReferrals is set to yes, use the LdapClientDeref property to tell the directory how to handle the referrals it finds. Also see LdapClientReferrals.
