aliasedObject not found

[Andreas Schoe <andi@gfz-potsdam.de>]

Hello list,

I have some problems with alias Objects. I have setup an internal and an
external tree. Some group accounts have to point from the external
suffix to the internal one.

Example:

dn: cn=alias,ou=Groups,dc=intern,dc=de
objectClass: top
objectClass: groupOfUniqueNames
cn: alias
...

dn: cn=alias,ou=Groups,dc=extern,dc=de
aliasedObjectName: cn=alias,ou=Groups,dc=intern,dc=de
objectClass: top
objectClass: extensibleObject
objectClass: alias
cn: alias

ldapsearch -h ldap -x -a find -b "ou=Groups,dc=extern,dc=de"

search: 2
result: 33 Alias problem
matchedDN: alias,ou=Groups,dc=gfz-extern,dc=de
text: aliasedObject not found

System:
OpenLDAP: 2.4.16, configured with  --enable-overlays=yes
solaris 10, SPARC

The aliasedObjectName is set to "cn=alias,ou=Groups,dc=intern,dc=de" but
the search result give back: "alias,ou=Groups,dc=gfz-extern,dc=de" for
the matchedDN. Both trees are indexed with "olcDbIndex: cn
pres,eq,approx,sub".

I'm looking forward to your advice, hints and help.

Thanks a lot!
Andreas
