Limitations
Š
Nested relationships do not span beyond the local server; the objects, users, and groups
involved need to be locally present on the server.
Š
No duplicate elimination is done in membership listing.
Š Nesting of dynamic groups is not supported.
Š
Nested ACLs as well as the nesting semantics are not supported on older eDirectory servers
(version 8.8 SP1 and earlier).
Alias
Description: Alias object icon You can create an Alias object that points to another object in the
tree. An Alias object gives a user a local name for an object that lies outside their container.
When you rename a container, you have the option of creating an Alias in the former container’s
place that points to the new name. Workstations and login script commands that reference objects in
the container can still access the objects without having the container name updated.
What an Alias Object Represents
An Alias object represents another object, which can be a container, User object, or any other object
in the tree. An Alias object does not carry trustee rights of its own. Any trustee authority you grant to
the Alias object applies to the object it represents. The Alias can be a target of a trustee assignment,
however.
Usage
Create an Alias object to make name resolution easier. Because object naming is simplest for objects
in the current context, you should create Alias objects there that point to any resources outside the
current context.
For example, suppose users log in and establish a current context in the South container as shown in
Figure 1-6 , but need access to the Print Queue object named ColorQ in the North container.
Figure 1-6
Sample Containers
You can create an Alias object in the South container, as shown in Figure 1-7 .
