There is some documentation on this available in our site's developer docuentation section here: http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/1.5/alias-and-index.html Oooops it looks empty thought :(. Instead I have a paper I wrote on Alias Dereferencing here on this page which you can access and download: http://people.apache.org/~akarasulu/ Note this paper is ancient. Perhaps even from 2000. However it should be pretty much up to date with perhaps a name change of the indices used. -- Best Regards, -- Alex
