thanks, another question, if i have a real entry in 2,000,000 entries, how can i search all of it's aliases quickly? Do I need to create an index for the aliasedObjectName?

Yes, since you would be performing a search using a filter like aliasedObjectName=uid=real,o=test.com. As a general rule, any attributes that appear in search filters should be indexed. In this case an "eq" index will be sufficient.

    aliasedObjectName: uid=real,o=test.com <http://test.com>
    <http://test.com>



    can i bind real entry by alias and real's userPassword ? if so,

No, aliases only affect Search operations, nothing else.
