Bruce,
Your description of the NDS implementation is correct. Using
aliasedObectName as the RDN has the problem Ron pointed out earlier. One of
the key points of having an alias is to give it a different name. The use
of aliasedObjectName kind of restricts you in that regard.

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. Bruce ============================================== Bruce Greenblatt, Ph. D.
