Directory Server User Entries

Notes about directory server user entries:

• User entries use the inetOrgPerson, organizationalPerson, and person 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 Billie Holiday is created within the organizational unit Marketing, and the directory’s base DN is o=Ace Industry, c=US, then the DN is:

  cn=Billie Holiday,ou=Marketing,o=Ace Industry,c=US

  However, note that this format can be changed to a user ID (uid)-based distinguished name.

• The values on the user form fields are stored as LDAP attributes.

  The following table lists the fields and corresponding LDAP attributes that display when creating a new user in the Proxy Server interface.
