alias in openldap

[Sergio Andreozzi <sergio.andreozzi@cnaf.infn.it>]

Hi everybody,

Q1:

I'm using alias in openldap, but when I give the ldapsearch command with 
the option -a always, these are never deferred.
The version I'm using is 2.0.14.

A sample ldif file is:

dn: scl=hw, ceId=grid006, hn=aName, mds-vo-name=local, o=grid
objectClass: alias
aliasedObjectName: "scl=linux,cl=cl1,hn=aName,mds-vo-name=local,o=grid"

dn: scl=linux, cl=cl1, hn=aName, mds-Vo-name=local, o=grid
objectClass: ComputingElementTop
objectClass: SubCluster
SubClusterUniqueID: linux
SubClusterName: linux

dn: sclInfo=network, scl=linux, cl=cl1, hn=aName, mds-Vo-name=local, o=grid
objectClass: ComputingElementTop
objectClass: Network
OutboundIP: true
InboundIP: true
NetName: aName
NetAddr: 1.1.1.1
NetMTU: 1500


Q2: when deferencing an alias in an ldapsearch which scope is subtree, 
do I get also the subtree of the aliased object?


Thanks

Sergio
