Re: Are DN's really names?

Alias entries in an X.500 directory are pointers used to help
overcome the limitations of any choice of hierarchy.  However, an
alias entry in the directory cannot contain a certificate, or any
other data.  I bemoan the fact that alias entries cannot contain
certificates.

There are alternatives to "Alias".  I dont have my ISODE manual handy,
but if I recall there are at least two attributes which are called
something like PositionFilledBy and SeeAlso which if I'm not mistaken
can coexist along side Certificate attributes.
