RE: Aliases in OL 2.1.5 with BDB.

Are there plans to implement aliases in back-bdb any time soon?  It seems that back-bdb carries so much
benefit for a system needing high availability and fault-tolerance that there would be demand for
such an oft-used feature of LDAP.

Thanks,
David Pisoni

Probably because back-bdb doesn't yet have all the code needed to support
aliases.

Hello all.

I got this error when doing a slapadd on a large ldif:

slapadd:
dn="uid=elisakaa,ou=MN,ou=MN,ou=organization,dc=uio,dc=no"
(line=578139): (65) attribute "aliasedObjectName" not
supported in context

This is the first alias-object in the file. After a few greps I found
that BDB_ALIASES is the flag for alias-support in BDB. Is there a
reason why aliases are disabled?
