4.2.2.2. Identifying Branch Points

When planning the branches in the directory tree, decide what attributes to use to identify the
branch points. Remember that a DN is a unique string composed of attribute-data pairs. For
example, the DN of an entry for Barbara Jensen, an employee of Example Corp., is uid=bjensen,
ou=people,dc=example,dc=com.

The directory tree for Example ISP, an Internet host, appears as follows:
