Re: binding to an alias entry?

Hi,

I have two ldap entries:

dn:cn=me,ou=users,dc=kapott,dc=org objectclass:person cn:me userPassword:...

dn:cn=me,ou=imap,ou=groups,dc=kapott,dc=org objectclass:alias objectclass:extensibleObject aliasedObjectName:cn=me,ou=users,dc=kapott,dc=org cn:me

I can use the first DN to successfully bind to the LDAP server, but not the second one. It would be nice to be able to use "cn=me,ou=imap,ou=groups,dc=kapott,dc=org" as bind DN too, but without duplicating the whole "person" entry with the userPassword.

According to RFC4511, ...

([RFC4513], Section 5.2). Where the server attempts to locate the named object, it SHALL NOT perform alias dereferencing.

(section 4.2).
