Hey Quanah, understood. :) I inherited this openldap database and I'm not
well versed in aliases. How do I verify if I actually have aliases being
utilized?  I have no ldif files in my core or custom schema config that
define aliases.    An ldapsearch on the cn=config returns default
references, but that is all:

Hi Peter,

You would need to search your back-mdb database and see if there are any objects with an objectClass of "alias". I.e.,

ldapsearch ... "(objectClass=alias") 1.1

filling in your bind details of course (I'd suggest something with full read access to the entire db).

Regards,
Quanah
