Re: which naming attribute ...

Sanjay,

As I recall, in Novell's implementation (the Novell guys can correct me if 
I'm misremembering),  NDS enforces the naming rules mandated by the base 
class of the object the Alias points to.  So, if the alias points to a user 
object, you could use the cn attribute as a naming attribute.  Similarly, 
if the alias points to an organizationalUnit object, you could use the ou 
attribute as a naming attribute.  This behaviour is unique to Novell's 
implementation.  In other implementations, you should use the 
aliasedObjectName as the naming attribute.
