The data model used is as follows:

pabPerson is a user entry in the personal address book.

pabGroup is the group entry and corresponds to a personal distribution list. For example, the pabGroup “pab-notes” may contain pabPersons micky and john.

pab is the address book that contains zero or more pabPerson and zero or more pabGroup entries. This is the top level logical container. pab may contain pabPerson and/or pabGroup. A pabPerson may belong in zero or more pabGroup and zero or more pab.

pabPerson may belong to zero or more pabGroup entries. This link is established by memberOfPABGroup, a multi-valued attribute holding the DN of the pabGroup in which the pabPerson belongs. A pabPerson may also belong to many personal address book’s. This link is established by having the DN of the pab listed as a value of the attribute memberOfPAB.

All users and groups belong in the default personal address book called “All.”
