Override the Default Containers in the DIT

If a particular LDAP deployment requires the default containers be overridden, it is possible to do so by specifying the modified container in the profile. You can define an alternate search baseDN for each of the databases

For example, assume that an organization wants to replace the ou=People container with ou=employee and ou=contractor containers. For this profile entry (which can exist anywhere in the DIT), an alternate search DN needs to be specified. Generate the LDAP client profile using the -B option to specify an alternate search DN. See ldap_gen_profile(1M) for details. The attribute looks like:

SolarisDataSearchDN="passwd:(ou=employee,dc=mkt,dc=mystore,dc=com),
                     (ou=contractor,dc=mkt,dc=mystore,dc=com)"
