OpenLDAP Faq-O-Matic: How do I create an alias entry?

	OpenLDAP Faq-O-Matic : General LDAP FAQ : Misc. : How do I create an alias entry?
	To create an alias, you need to create an entry with the objectClass's alias and extensibleObject. The extensibleObject allows you to include the part of the DN in the alias, which is required before one can be added. An example LDIF(5) file is dn: uid=alias,ou=People,dc=example,dc=net objectclass: alias objectclass: extensibleObject uid: alias aliasedobjectname: uid=target,ou=Retired People,dc=example,dc=com When searching for objects, if dereferencing is enabled and an alias entry is found with the search scope, the aliased object will be returned. That is, ldapsearch -x -a search -b "ou=People,dc=example,dc=net" would return the "uid=target,ou=Retired People,dc=example,dc=com" object.
	you can also expect getting "target" results by searching with "alias" base ldapsearch -x -a always -b uid=alias,ou=People,dc=example,dc=net <filter>
