    Dear All,

    I am currently using a LDAP client on an AIX 5.3. And I would like to create aliases to posixAccount. For example, I would like to be able to login either with the username "vro" or "cwvro".

    So I created an alias vro which points to the posixAccount cwvro.
    > Here is the result of an ldapsearch :

    ou=aliases,dc=corporate,dc=local
    objectClass=organizationalUnit
    ou=aliases

    uid=vro,ou=aliases,dc=corporate,dc=local
    uid=vro
    objectClass=alias
    objectClass=extensibleObject
    aliasedObjectName=uid=cwvro,ou=people,dc=corporate,dc=local

    Then I modified the following line in the file /etc/security/ldap/ldap.cfg :
    aliasbasedn:ou=aliases,dc=corporate,dc=local
    followaliase:ALWAYS

    Then I restarted the ldap client :
    > restart-secldapclntd.

    But I am anyway not able to connect as vro :
    > su - vro
    User "vro" does not exist

    since I am able to connect as cwvro. So what is my mistake and what should I do next ?

    Many thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Vincent
