DC Tree Structure

The DC (domain component) tree maps domain name format (for example, sun.com) to the distinguished name of the corresponding entry in the OSI tree. As shown in Figure 3-4, the DC tree is usually relatively flat and simpler than the OSI tree.

In Figure 3-4, the entry dc=sun,dc=com maps to the o=sun,c=us entry in the OSI tree. The eng domain here maps to the domain name system (DNS) form eng.sun.com.

For details on how to make the two domain entries, see "Creating Domain Entries".
