Re: Are DN's really names?

If you allow for aliases in DN-space, does't that require trust in
the directory system? (the same trust you didn't want to require for
the DN->822 mapping?)

How do you defend against a directory spoofer who puts in an alias to
"bad-guy" under the name of "good-guy" (by low level protocol packet
hacking of a directory client like can be done with the DNS, not by
changing the "real" directory data).

How is this different?
