LDIF Elements in Organization Entries
Description
Specifies the distinguished name for the entry. DNs
are described in the Netscape 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 Netscape
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 either a single backslash and the
entire organization argument must be enclosed in
quotation marks. However, 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." on UNIX
machines or "o: example.com Bolivia\,
S.A." on Windows NT.
Specifies the list of optional attributes that you want to
maintain for the entry. See the Netscape Directory
Server Schema Reference for a list of the attributes you
can use with this object class.
