    The following notes may be of interest to the directory administrator:

    • New organizational units are created using the organizationalUnit object class.

    • The distinguished name for new organizational units is of the form:

      ou=new organization, ou=parent organization, ...,o=base organization, c=country

    For example, if you create a new organization called Accounting within the organizational unit West Coast, and your Base DN is o=Ace Industry, c=US, then the new organization unit’s DN is:

    ou=Accounting, ou=West Coast, o=Ace Industry, c=US
