      Description

      There have been a few instances where attempting Auth after HUE-1442 has followed referrals. As a result, Hue may try to contact AD servers that are not reachable.

      Need to test, but from looking at the code, it seems we only disable referral chasing in:

      ./apps/useradmin/src/useradmin/ldap_access.py: ldap.set_option(ldap.OPT_REFERRALS, 0)

      So we may need to do one of the following:

      • Give an option to disable/enable referral chasing.
      • Move the disabling of referral chasing to a more global location. If possible.
      • Just add "ldap.set_option(ldap.OPT_REFERRALS, 0)" to "desktop/core/src/desktop/auth/backend.py".
