FDS does not support LDAP aliases. However, you can have a single entry
with two different uid attributes - uid is a multi-valued attribute.
This will allow you to do an LDAP search for uid=james or uid=jjones and
get the same entry. If you want to use uid as the naming attribute for
the DN, you will just have to pick one of the values.
