Thread-topic: authenticating users !

Hi

I have 2 backend db setup 

{2}bdb -> suffix:  ou=external,dc=xyz,dc=com
{3)ldap -> uri ldap://msad.xyz.com, suffix:  dc=xyz,dc=com


Say I have a user 

dn: cn=alex samad,cn=users, dc=xyz,dc=com

I create an ldap alias record 

dn: uid=alex.samad@xyz.com, ou=external,dc=xyz,dc=com
objectclass: top, extensibleObject, alias
aliasedObjectName: cn=alex samad,cn=users, dc=xyz,dc=com


I try and login with this DN "uid=alex.samad@xyz.com, ou=external,dc=xyz,dc=com" and it fails, when I logging with " cn=alex samad,cn=users, dc=xyz,dc=com " it works.  So can I presume the authentication code doesn't follow ldap alias ?

Alex
