OpenLdap : How to query for alias objects from spring ldap api?

Question

I am using spring ldap to connect to OpenLdap.

Wondering if there is any way in which we can query all the aliases present inside a particular base? I tried ldaptemplate.search, but it returns only the object inside the base, according to the filter provided, and not the aliases associated with the objects.

Looking forward for the answers.

Answer 1

You have to turn off alias chasing via whatever API you are using. Then the result of the search is the alias objects themselves, not what they refer to.
