NCLHELP.HLB  —  Directory Module, DSA  Characteristics  Dereference Aliases On Modify
 The Dereference Aliases on Modify attribute specifies whether
 alias names can be used in modification requests, such as
 the DXIM CREATE ENTRY, MODIFY ENTRY, DELETE ENTRY and
 RENAME ENTRY commands.

 If this attribute is set to TRUE, then alias names can be
 used in modifications if the user so desires. For example, a
 DXIM command line user can use the Dereference Aliases
 control to indicate that they want alias names dereferenced for
 a particular command. This means that the user can refer to the
 entry that they want to modify by means of its distinguished name
 or any valid alias name for that entry.

 If the attribute is set to FALSE, then alias names are never
 dereferenced  for modifications, regardless of user
 specification. This means that  a user must refer to the entry
 they want to modify by means of its  distinguished name. If they
 use an alias name, even a valid one, the command fails.

 The default value is FALSE. (Note that when displaying
 entries, the default behaviour is to dereference aliases.)

 Syntax:

 	SET DSA DEREFERENCE ALIASES ON MODIFY <TRUE/FALSE>
