Active Directory LDAP Referrals
We have a Windows 2012 R2 domain with 8 DC's. We have a third party app being setup with LDAP and needs to set if referral are enabled or not in the domain. From my understanding, referrals are enabled by default in AD and cannot be disabled. Is this correct?
No, they can't be disabled.

I was was correct in stating this is on by default? The purpose of referrals it to reach out to other LDAP servers to find an object if not present on the current server because of replication. Is this correct?
Yes, it is on by default.
If they want to NOT receive referrals, then tell them to connect to the GC (global catalog) port, not the LDAP port.
