How Distributed Searches Work (Multichaining)

Searches can span multiple DSAs.

A subtree search searches all entries below and including the base-object of the search. Some entries can reside on a different DSA from the base-object.

When you enable multichaining, the DSA searches for immediate subordinate DSAs after you find the base-object and then forwards the search to these DSAs. Results from all subordinate DSAs and the local DSA (the DSA containing the base-object) are collated before being returned.
