## DS_C_CONTINUATION_REF

An instance of OM class DS_C_CONTINUATION_REF comprises the information that enables a partially completed directory request to be continued; for example, following a referral.

An application is not permitted to create or modify instances of this OM class. An instance of this OM class has the OM attributes of its superclass, OM_C_OBJECT, in addition to the OM attributes listed in the following table.

OM Attributes of DS_C_CONTINUATION_REF

OM Attribute | Value Syntax | Value Length | Value Number | Value Initially
DS_ACCESS_ POINTS | Object(DS_C_ ACCESS_POINT) | - | 1 or more | -
DS_ALIASED_ RDNS | OM_S_INTEGER | - | 1 | -
DS_OPERATION_ PROGRESS | Object(DS_C_ OPERATION_ PROGRESS) | - | 1 | -
DS_RDNS_ RESOLVED | OM_S_INTEGER | - | 0 or 1 | -
DS_TARGET_ OBJECT | Object(DS_C_ NAME) | - | 1 | -

· DS_ACCESS_POINTS

This attribute indicates the names and presentation addresses of the DSAs from where the directory request is continued.

· DS_ALIASED_RDNS

This attribute indicates how many (if any) of the RDNs in the target name are produced by dereferencing an alias. Its value is 0 (zero) if no aliases are dereferenced. This value needs to be used in the DS_C_CONTEXT of any continued operation.

· DS_OPERATION_PROGRESS

This attribute indicates the state at which the directory request must be continued. This value needs to be used in the DS_C_CONTEXT of any continued operation.

· DS_RDNS_RESOLVED

This attribute indicates the number of RDNs in the supplied object name that are resolved (using internal references), and not just assumed to be correct (using cross-references).

· DS_TARGET_OBJECT

This attribute indicates the name of the object upon which the continuation must focus.
