alias of entry in sun one directory server 5.2
Hi,
I want to create a alias entry pointing to another entry. Is alias dereferencing of entry supported in 5.2 when we do search.
Here is alias entry i have.
aliasedObjectName: uid=test123,ou=people,o=test.com
uidtest
objectClasstop
objectClassalias
objectClassaliasobject
So when i do search at uid=test,ou=test,o=test.com
and look for attribute xyz: abc which is defined for uid=test123. I should get uid=test123 entry.
But i dont get any result.
Any idea. If 5.2 does not support dereferencing then it explains.
Thanks,
Naren

From http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6699-10/objclass.html:
alias
Definition
Abstract object class, used to point to other entries in the directory tree.
Note that alias dereferencing is not supported in Sun ONE Directory Server.
This object class is defined in RFC 2256.

the effect that i want with alias objectclass i have making a refferal to a entry that i want to have an alias. when i do a ldapsearch, they showme the entries data like the original entry.
i have one only problem, when i want to disable/ delete the reffers i cant/delete the entry that reffers.

Again, from the Sun DS 5.2 documentation:"Note that alias dereferencing is not supported in Sun ONE Directory Server."If you really need alias support, you could try other brands. However, it doesn't seem to be a very common feature in modern directory servers.
