!!! Overview 
An alias is a special type of [LDAP Entry] that references another entry in the server, much like a symbolic link in a UNIX filesystem. 

It should include the "{{alias}}" object class and the [aliasedObjectName] attribute with a value equal to the [DN] of the entry that it references. 

Note that aliases are an optional part of the LDAPv3 protocol, and not all [LDAP Server Implementations] currently support alias. 

!! [Dereference Policy] 
The [Search Request] includes an element that specifies the [Dereference Policy] that should be used when aliases are encountered. 

!! [ObjectClass Type] Definition
The [ObjectClass Type] is defined as: 
* [OID]: [2.5.6.1] 
* NAME: [{$pagename}] 
* SUP: [top] 
* [STRUCTURAL] 
* MUST: 
** [aliasedObjectName] 
* MAY:
