Issue ID: 9835 Summary: LDAP aliases ought to always be dereferenced Product: JLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: JDBC Assignee: bugs@openldap.org Reporter: fredrik@roubert.name Target Milestone: ---
No software connecting to an LDAP database through JDBC can be expected to know anything at all about LDAP, so no such software can be expected to be able to do anything useful with an LDAP alias entry. LDAP aliases must therefore always be dereferenced in the JDBC driver.
