Attribute Alias - pgpKey



Hi,
	I'm trying to use LDAP as a key repository for PGP. I seem to
have one last issue. Some clients search for a user's public key as an
attribute named 'pgpKey' and some use 'pgpKeyV2'. Rather than store
both, and hence doubling storage requirements in the directory, I
created a schema file with the following.....


attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.7521.1012 NAME ( 'pgpKey' 'pgpKeyV2' )
        SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.5 )


	as an attempt to create pgpKeyV2 as an alias to pgpKey.

	The problem is, when the client that searches for 'pgpKeyV2'
search the directory, the LDAP server returns the attribute 'pgpKey' and
its contents. The client simple ignores the response, since it is
looking for 'pgpKeyV2', and informs that no key is found.

	Is there a way of making the LDAP server return the 'alias' name
'pgpKeyV2' in this instance?

Thanks
Garry
