You're moving the ksanders user object from the SLC . DA container to the TYO.DA container in your eDirectory tree. You're concerned that ksanders may forget that her object has been moved and will…

An Alias object is a special eDirectory leaf object that points to another object residing in a different container. By creating an Alias named ksanders in SLC.DA that references the actual user object in TYO.DA, eDirectory will redirect the login request transparently so ksanders can still authenticate as ksanders.SLC.DA. This is the purpose-built solution for maintaining backward-compatible login contexts after a user object is moved.

A Group object is used to collectively assign rights to multiple users and does not provide an alternate login context for an individual user.

A Profile object stores a shared login script for multiple users and has no function in redirecting authentication to a different object context.

A Template object defines default property values applied when creating new user objects and cannot serve as a pointer for authentication purposes.

An Organizational Role object represents a position within an organization used for delegating rights and does not allow a user to log in from an alternate context.
