Description
The cdsalias object represents cell names as known by the Cell Directory Service (CDS). This object lets you manipulate alias and preferred names of DCE
cells. Each cell has one preferred name. This is the name returned by the cell. Cells may also have alias names. Currently this object affects only the CDS component. The security server and
each host must also be informed of any new cell aliases.
This object can also be used to define a hierarchical relation between one cell and another by connecting the first cell's root directory name space into the second cell's namespace. When defining a hierarchical relationship, you must use the account object to establish a trust relationship between the cells.
To manipulate alias and preferred names, the CDS_DirectoryVersion attribute must be set to 4.0 or greater. See the Attributes topic of the directory command for more information.
