Yep you guys are right the server's alias handling code presumes cycles do
not exist from descendant entries to any one of their ancestors. The algorithm
could be modified to handle these cycles but that's not a quick endeavor so
I will put it off as E suggested.

> Key: DIRSERVER-803

> Project: Directory ApacheDS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 1.5.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.1, 1.5.0, 1.0
> Environment: * ApacheDS 1.0.0
> * Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_07-b03)
> * Windows XP Professional SP2
> Reporter: Stefan Zoerner
> Assignee: Alex Karasulu

> Attachments: AddAliasFromDescendantTest.java

> It fails to import the following two entries into ApacheDS 1.0 (default
> server.xml).
> The second entry is an alias to the first one, and is directly located below
> the first entry:
> dn: ou=Singers,dc=example,dc=com
> ou: Singers
> objectclass: top
> objectclass: organizationalUnit
> dn: ou=Songwriters,ou=Singers,dc=example,dc=com
> ou: Songwriters
> objectclass: top
> objectclass: organizationalUnit
> objectclass: alias
> aliasedobjectname: ou=Singers,dc=example,dc=com
> Here is the result I got from an ldapmodify attempt:
> $ ldapmodify -h localhost -p 10389 -D "uid=admin,ou=system" -w ****** -q -c
> -a -f aliasSingers.ldif
> ldap_add: Unknown error
> ldap_add: additional info: failed to add entry
> ou=Songwriters,ou=Singers,dc=example,dc=com: [36] aliasDereferencingProblem -
> attempt to create alias with cycle to relative ou=Singers,dc=example,dc=com
> not allowed from descendent alias
> 2.5.4.11=songwriters,2.5.4.11=singers,0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.25=example,0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.25=com
> It seems that ApacheDS does not allow to create an alias from a descendant. I
> tried the same with Tivoli Directory Server 6.0 and Sun Java System Directory
> Server 5.2, both allowed this constellation.
> Find attached a JNDI JUnit test which is able to cause the error by adding
> two entries programmatically.
