ldap scheme for email aliases

  • 772

Does anyone know what scheme to use when setting up email aliases in LDAP? I could use anything, but it seems kind of abusive to use "title" for example as the email alias. extensibleObject may be the correct thing to use, but it seems wrong.

  1. You may want to look at nisMailAlias.

    Sounds like you want misc.schema (or misc.ldif), usually included with OpenLDAP.
    It contains the schema definitions for the following attributetypes and objectClasses:

    • mailLocalAddress
    • mailHost
    • mailRoutingAddress
    • inetLocalMailRecipient
    • rfc822MailMember
    • nisMailAlias
