Example: Searching Aliases Again

This example uses the same DIT as Example: Aliases in Democorp.

If you choose to dereference aliases while searching, any aliases returned in the results are dereferenced.

If a search found the alias entry cn=Bernd Stark,ou=Aviation,ou=Projects, the target entry is returned: cn=Bernd Stark,ou=Construction,ou=Projects.

However, you can choose to not dereference aliases while searching.
