SYMPTOMS
When you delete a user object that is a member of a list from the Metaverse, and then re-synchronize the list by using a management agent (MA), an alias to the object appears in Connector Space under the list object. The alias points to a non-existent Metaverse object. The attributes for the object are zcLdapUser (if you imported this user from a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol [LDAP] directory), zcExcludedAliasThing, and Top.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the member object is actually an alias to the disconnector object; when you view this, the member alias is actually one which is &quot;de-referenced.&quot; This de-reference only occurs after the metadirectory is updated. After this update occurs, the Connector Space list object contains the alias object for the de-referenced list member.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
