It seems that the cases when the same real world object is
described by several DIT entries are not uncommon. E. g., a
person may work in an organization, and for the purposes of this
organization be described by an entry and be a member of some
project, and be described by a different entry as well. As
different naming contexts represent different administrative
contexts this seems to be inevitable.
For the application I'm currently developing it would be
necessary to allow for the information about some specific
real-world objects to be described by (potentially) arbitrary
number of DIT entries, administred by different real-world
entities. However, occasionally it would be necessary to
consider different entries describing the same real-world
object.
How do I facilitate the search for the DIT entries describing
the same object as a specified DIT entry?
The only thing that comes to my mind is a separate multi-value
attribute holding the DNs of all the DIT entries known to
describe the same real-world object, like:
( ... NAME 'knownOtherObjectName'
EQUALITY distinguishedNameMatch
SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12 )
Any other ideas?
