You mean 'alias' object class defn in RFC 2256, which is
same/similar to X.500 (93) defn, is not enough to create alias
objects in an LDAP directory AND there would be, in future,
another doc on this topic ?
Is support for aliases a MUST for LDAP V3 ?
Although, my understanding is that LDAPBIS is going to define
more specifically what is LDAP V3.
