LDIF Elements in Organization Entries
Description
Specifies the distinguished name for the entry. DNs
are described in the Red Hat Directory Server
Deployment Guide. A DN is required.
Required. Specifies the top object class.
Specifies the organization object class. This line
defines the entry as an organization. See the Red Hat
Directory Server Schema Reference for a list of the
attributes you can use with this object class.
Attribute that specifies the organization's name. If the
organization name includes a comma, you must
escape the comma by a single backslash, and the
entire organization argument must be enclosed in
quotation marks. If you are working with a UNIX
shell, this backslash will also need escaping, which
means that you will have to use two backslashes. For
example, to set the suffix to example.com
Bolivia, S.A. you would enter
"o: example.com Bolivia\\, S.A.".
Specifies the list of optional attributes that you want to
maintain for the entry. See the Red Hat Directory Server
Schema Reference for a list of the attributes you can use
