Directory Server User Entries - Netscape ENTREPRISE SERVER 6.1 - 08-2002 ADMINISTRATOR Administrator's Manual

Directory Server User Entries

The following user entry notes may be of interest to the directory administrator:
• User entries use the
object classes.
• By default, the distinguished name for users is of the form:
cn=full name, ou=organization, ...,o=base organization, c=country
For example, if a user entry for Babs Jensen is created within the organizational
unit Marketing, and the directory's base DN is o=Example Corporation, c=US,
then the person's DN is:
cn=Babs Jensen, ou=Marketing, o=Example Corporation, c=US
However, note that you can change this format to a uid-based distinguished
name.
• The values on the user form fields are stored as the following LDAP attributes
(note that any stored information other than 'user' and 'group' requires a full
Directory Server license):
