groupOfUniqueNames join / search (sql join)

Hi

I would like to know, if you use groupOfUniqueNames and you want to 
follow the uniqueMember to get the mail attribute.
Would anyone know how perform that type of ldapsearch

e.g

dn: cn=support@...,ou=mailAlias,dc=abc.biz,dc=top
uniqueMember: cn=brenttst,ou=mailUser,dc=abc.biz,dc=top

dn: cn=brenttst,ou=mailUser,dc=abc.biz,dc=top
mail: brent@...

Basically this is for mail routing and I want to build / use it for 
aliases. So all mail too support@... will be sent to brent@...

Kind Regards
Brent Clark

There's noch such think like a SQL join in LDAP.

You have to implement a client for that.

Thanks for your reply.

So basically I need to design my DIT more simpler.

Thought I was overly complicating the design / idea.

Thanks

Search for the uniqueMember, take the returned attribute value and  
issue another (base-level) search for that DN that returns the mail  
attribute(s).
