Hi Sorry, I just saw the email amongst a large amount of others.... I use alias objects as I have multiple branches of people and a cvs server authentication base is set to one which a particular user is not in - confusing... For eg, Some server are locked into ou=org1 and the person is in ou=org2. I do not want to exposed these sever to anything but org1 however there are people in org2 that need access to org1. So I created a alias object in org1. Problem solved. There probably is a better way of doing this such as a referral object.
However, I manage to get the alias object working once in phpldapadmin (could have been an older version, I cannot recall). I cannot not get them to work now. I provide the ldif of the original object and the alias that works - (with some minor mods to remove names) Main Entry: dn: cn=John Smith,ou=people,ou=nz,dc=company,dc=com givenName: John sn: Smith cn: John Smith uid: jsmith userPassword:: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX uidNumber: 1470 gidNumber: 50 objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: top structuralObjectClass: inetOrgPerson entryUUID: c0a71cc2-a3a7-102c-9802-4313110fec2a creatorsName: cn=admin,dc=company,dc=com createTimestamp: 20080421043253Z homeDirectory: /home/users/jsmith loginShell: /bin/bash entryCSN: 20080423025943Z#000000#00#000000 modifiersName: cn=admin,dc=company,dc=com modifyTimestamp: 20080423025943Z Working Alias: dn: uid=jsmith,ou=people,ou=au,dc=company,dc=com objectClass: alias objectClass: extensibleObject objectClass: top uid: swilson structuralObjectClass: alias entryUUID: 72775a32-0427-102c-9401-e39521d974c5 creatorsName: cn=admin,dc=printsoft,dc=com createTimestamp: 20071001050352Z aliasedObjectName: uid=jsmith,ou=people,ou=nz,dc=company,dc=com entryCSN: 20071001050406Z#000000#00#000000 modifiersName: cn=admin,dc=company,,dc=com modifyTimestamp: 20071001050406Z The above set works regards, Gerhard Deon George wrote: > Hi Gerhard, > > Gerhard (GMAIL) wrote: > >> I seem to be having trouble adding a alias objects. >> > Can you provide an LDIF of a good aliased object (I dont use them), and > I'll see what is going on... > > ...deon > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft > Defy all challenges.
