Aliases
- Aliases are used to point one LDAP entry to another
- Allows you to have structures that aren't hierachical
- Similar in sense to using a symlink in unix
- Not all LDAP servers support aliases - big performance hit
- Created by:
- Entry with object class of alias
- Attribute named aliasedObjectName that points to DN of the alias
- Can use either referrals or putting a LDAP url in an entry
