R004158 Cycle detected while dereferencing alias 'name'

Explanation

An LDAP search operation that is dereferencing aliases failed because it finds a chain of aliases that leads back to the first alias in the chain. An alias entry is one that contains the alias or aliasObject object class and the aliasedObjectName attribute.

In the message text:
name
Initial alias value

System action

The LDAP server continues to run, but the operation fails.

User response

Starting from the initial alias value, analyze the alias chain and end the chain by removing or modifying the appropriate aliasedObjectName value. Then, reissue the operation.
