Sumit, could you please provide more information here?

Use-cases and a definition of the option values would be ideal.

LDAP_OPT_DEREF (0x02)

Determines how aliases are handled during search.

LDAP_DEREF_NEVER (0x00) LDAP_DEREF_SEARCHING (0x01) LDAP_DEREF_FINDING (0x02) LDAP_DEREF_ALWAYS (0x03). The LDAP_DEREF_SEARCHING value means that aliases should be dereferenced during the search but not when locating the base object of the search. The LDAP_DEREF_FINDING value means that aliases should be dereferenced when locating the base object but not during the search.

The typical use case is an LDAP server which uses alias objects, i.e. references inside the directory tree. Currently it is not possible to use them because the default for LDAP_OPT_DEREF is LDAP_DEREF_NEVER.
