8.19.3 How the Rule Works

This rule places User objects in proper department containers depending upon the value that is
stored in the OU attribute. If a User object needs to be placed and has the OU attribute available,
then the User object is placed in the uid=unique name,ou=value of OU attribute,dest-base.
The dest-base is a local variable. The DN must be the relative root path of the department containers.
It can be an organization or an organizational unit. The value stored in the OU attribute must be the
name of a child container of the dest-base local variable.
The child containers must be associated for the User objects to be placed. The value of the OU
attribute must be the name of the child container. If the OU attribute is not present, then this rule is
not executed.
The uid attribute of the User object is the first two letters of the Given Name attribute plus the
Surname attribute as lowercase. The rule uses LDAP format.
