Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 Deployment Planning Guide

People Containers Must be Parent Entries for Users

Another abstract entry type is the people container. The Access Manager type assumes that this entry is a parent entry for users. When you mark an entry as a people container with iplanet-am-managed-people-container, the UI will assume it can only contain sub-people containers or users. The attribute OrganizationUnit is typically used as a people container, but any entry can be this type in Access Manager as long as it has the iplanet-am-managed-people-container object class and it has a Access Manager manageable parent of type organization or container.
