I believe it is that case that slapd only really uses the first
name listed on each "attribute" configuration file line. You might
consider this a bug, but I would argue that clients need to use only
one name and agree on what name to use. Even if slapd were to
understand both names in your search filters, it would be quite
difficult for slapd to know in general which attribute names to use
when returning search results.
