Thanks for this Pieranglo, this has
pointed me in the right direction.
However I have now added the aliasedObjectName into my structure, but I
cannot work out how to use ldapsearch to show me who the director would
be. So the structure is now:
ou=contacts,ou=Dummy Corp,ou=clients,dc=directory,ou=base
cn=Russell Seymour
ou=roles,ou=Dummy Corp,ou=clients,dc=directory,ou=base
cn=Director
aliasedObjectName: cn=Russell Seymour,ou=contacts,ou=Dummy
Corp,ou=clients,dc=directory,dc=base
So when I search on the Director for the Dummy Corp I want ldap to
return the name of the person that is referenced. I know that I need
to use -a in the ldapsearch, but I have not worked out what the options
to be set are.
Thanks again, Russell

Good afternoon all,
I have two containers within my OpenLDAP directory:
ou=roles,ou=Dummy Corp,ou=clients,ou=directory,ou=base
ou=contacts,ou=Dummy Corp,ou=clients,ou=directory,ou=base
As you would expect I have an entries in the contact list for people in
the company that I have an entry for, e.g.
cn=Russell Seymour,ou=contacts,ou=Dummy
Corp,ou=clients,ou=directory,ou=base
this has all the attributes such as address and email etc.
Now in the ou for Roles contains the entry
cn=Director,ou=roles,ou=Dummy Corp,ou=clients,ou=directory,ou=base
and in this entry I have the roleOccupant, which has the full DN for the
person in the contacts list.
The question is, is it possible to link the roleOccupant to the person
within an ldapsearch so that when I query the Director of the company i
get the details of the person that it is linked to?
Not sure if it entirely fits your needs, but you should look at aliases
(RFC4512) and make search deref them as appropriate, see RFC4511 &
ldapsearch(1).
