[LDAP] How to organise the database?
Howdy,
I've just setup a local ldap server to experiment with but I'm
a little confused about the information I can put into an ldap server.
I believe the information in the ldap database is organised in
a tree structure, right? Ifso, how can I define the layout of
this structure (which attributes go where and at what level) ?
Can I decide on this structure myself or should I adhere to some
predefined hierarchy if I want to use my LDAP server from a mail-client.
In other words: how does f.i. netscape find out where to get the information
I'm looking for?
Is there any document describing how to organise the data in the
database? I searched the web for it but couldn't find anything about
the content of the LDAP server (except for the RFC's but I would
really prefer something else if possible).
Thanks in advance,
Nico
