I have the need for some attribute aliasing/mapping on

return the nisMapName attribute but with the name
'automountMapName'.  Likewise for some additional
attribute pairs.  Can my OpenLDAP server do this?
If so, how?


Yes. See slapo-rwm(5).

Or, can my OpenLDAP client do this (same build and version as the OpenLDAP server)? 

OpenLDAP client do not provides any aliasing/mapping.  But
you can do such mapping outside of the OpenLDAP client
using your favorite text processor... ldapsearch(1) output
is, after all, LDIF.
