Additional Information about User Entries
248 Getting Results with Novell Web Services
The following information might be of interest to the network administrator
concerning creating user entries:
User entries use the inetOrgPerson, organizationalPerson, and person
object classes. For more information on how these are used, search the
Novell Support Connection Web site (http://support.novell.com).
By default, the distinguished name for users is as follows:
cn=full name, ou=organization, ...,o=base organization,
c=country
For example, if a user entry for Sam Warden is created within the
Organizational Unit Engineering, and the directory's suffix is O=Ace
Industry, C=US, then the person's DN is
CN=Sam Warden, OU=Engineering, O=Ace Industry, C=US
However, you can change this format to a UID-based distinguised name.
Suffixes are optional if you are using the local directory. If you did not
configure a suffix for your local directory, then you literally use the string
" " (quote quote) to represent the search base on calls to ldapsearch.
The values on the user form fields are stored as the following LDAP
attributes:
User Field
Given Name
Surname
Full Name
User ID
Password
E-Mail Address
The following fields are also available when editing the user entry:
