<h1 style="color: #008080;">Creating an Alias</h1>

<p>An alias is similar to a shortcut. It is used to link different parts 
 of the 
<OBJECT classid="java:com.sun.java.help.impl.JHSecondaryViewer"  id="0" >
 <param name="content" value="Creating_an_Alias_text0_popup_topic.htm">
 <param name="viewerActivator" value="javax.help.LinkLabel">
 <param name="viewerSize" value="400,270">
 <param name="viewerStyle" value="javax.help.Popup">
 <param name="text" value="Directory Information Tree">
</OBJECT> (DIT). For example, a person may work in the Human 
 Resources department, but is also Manager of the Sporting Committee; therefore, 
 you may want to link the two entries together to save re-typing the information, 
 and maintaining two entries. </p>

<p>&nbsp; </p>

<p>The easiest way to create an alias is to copy an 
<OBJECT classid="java:com.sun.java.help.impl.JHSecondaryViewer"  id="1" >
 <param name="content" value="Creating_an_Alias_text1_popup_topic.htm">
 <param name="viewerActivator" value="javax.help.LinkLabel">
 <param name="viewerSize" value="400,270">
 <param name="viewerStyle" value="javax.help.Popup">
 <param name="text" value="entry">
</OBJECT> 
 and then paste it to another part of the DIT. When you copy an entry, 
 you can choose to copy the full 
<OBJECT classid="java:com.sun.java.help.impl.JHSecondaryViewer"  id="2" >
 <param name="content" value="Creating_an_Alias_text2_popup_topic.htm">
 <param name="viewerActivator" value="javax.help.LinkLabel">
 <param name="viewerSize" value="400,270">
 <param name="viewerStyle" value="javax.help.Popup">
 <param name="text" value="Distinguished Name">
</OBJECT> (DN). </p>

<p>&nbsp; </p>

<p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span>: When <a href="Performing_a_Complex_Search.htm">performing 
 a search</a>, you can choose to return alias entries as well. </p>

											float: none;
											width: 30px;
											height: 28px;" width="30" height="28" border="0"> on the Button Bar</p></li>
