hi,

is it possible to link users on a LDAP-Server from one container to another?

we have two trees, one for AIX and one for solaris-linux

but we have a few users in both trees, they should have the same password and a password change must affect both entries

we use IBM Directory Server 6, but this shouldn't matter

thanks in advance

funksen

Edit: ldap v3

Check out something called metadirectory, it is made by a company called CriticalPath. It may be able to do what you need.

thanks for your answer, but I cannot get away from ibm tivoli directory server, I hoped there's a basic ldap solution, just an additional attribute in ldif file or something like that

if it's not I have a big problem, then I have to split our users in a lot of different containers and totally remake the acls

any other ideas?

the solution is called alias

here the alias for the user uid=funksen,ou=People,cn=aixsecdb,cn=aixdata,ou=whatever :

dn: uid=newuser,......
uid: newuser
objectClass: alias
objectClass: extensibleObject
aliasedObjectname: uid=funksen,ou=People,cn=aixsecdb,cn=aixdata,ou=whatever
