Hi, I have a problem when I use the alias. I have an OpenLdap with 450.000 entries and 450.000 alias. When I make a search using the deferencing I obtain a wrong result. For example: - if I search in the alias tree uid=xxxx I obtain zero entry but I have the alias and I have the phisical entry - if I search in the alias tree ou=xxxx I obtain a number of entries that is different from same search performed on the phisical tree
This happens only when I use the deferencing option.
Why?
I find in Internet that: "If you have a thousand or more alias objects, avoid alias dereferencing in the search" .... this means I could get wrong results using alias?
Thanks in advance Regards Paola

I would assume that is not the intended behavior. You don't state what version of OpenLDAP you are using, which would be useful information as well.
