Logical Structure Of The Ldap Directory - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE 11 - SUBSCRIPTION MANAGEMENT TOOL GUIDE 10-02-2009 Manual

10.1 Logical Structure of the LDAP
The LDAP directory is designed with multiple, hierarchical object classes so it can ac-
commodate large corporate structures. The following list describes the standard object
classes represented in the SUSE Linux Enterprise Point of Service LDAP directory
tree. For a complete listing of SUSE Linux Enterprise Point of Service object classes
and their attributes, see Section 10.3, "LDAP Objects Reference" (page 136) or refer to
the OpenLDAP schemata specific to SUSE Linux Enterprise Point of Service that are
located under /etc/openldap/schema/sc-pos-attr.schema and /etc/
openldap/schema/sc-pos-pos-obj.schema, respectively.
Root
The beginning level in the LDAP tree. The root represents the world. The next
level is represented by:
• Country
Country
The country in which the organization is located. The next level is represented by:
• Organization
Organization (organization)
The name of the organization represented in the LDAP tree. The next level is rep-
resented by:
• Locator Object
• Global
• Organizational Units
Locator Object (scHardware)
posInitAdminserver.sh initially creates an object of the type scHardware, for
example
cn=standards,o=organization_name,c=country_abbrevation.
The purpose of this object is to contain the default PXE boot filename (in the
scDhcpOptionsRemote, being /boot/pxelinux.0 by default).
