Thank you for the input Sandy, I was able to modify my ldap query slightly to allow me to start accepting my domain alias, so that is no longer an issue. However, I was forced to start using LDAP for user verification, so I'm now at the point where your script fits my needs as I need to publish my aliases in LDAP so they are not rejected.
My Barracuda firewall does alias unification and I want it to unify all my aliases to a single account so they are not created as individual account on my barracuda. To do this, I need all of them to share the same uid. If I cannot create multiple records with the same uid, then I will create on uid with multiple mail records or cn attributes. If you don't mind, I would like to just save some time and use your script, but I will need to modify it.

Well, you're not going to get too far with that comparison. :0) You're talking about a *vastly* different schema and applications, and the mailNickname attribute is a tiny part of that. > Do you know where Imail determines its LDAP content > from for new users? Yes, and it doesn't search where you need it to. I could certainly write a script that would do as you describe, but it would not be simple to create the relational aspect from the non-relational userbase.
