logic of physicalDeliveryOfficeName -> dn describing it
So, I have started filling in the physicalDeliveryOfficeName attributes,
and I have a list of address and other generic information for our
various offices. Is there a convention I could adhere to in this
regard? I'm writing lots of things from scratch, and my reflex is just
to create DNs of an appropriate objectclass and stick them under
ou=Resources, but maybe someone else can tell me how civilized people
address this question.
I could also ask the question, more generally, of say, ou. Say I wanted
to provide a mechanism for people to look up directory entries based on
an ou hierarchy. Something like this:
ou=Mstaff
ou=Platform Engineering
ou=Network Operations
ou=Enterprize Servers
My instinct here was just to give people multiple ou attributes that
related to their ou hierarchy, but say I wanted to be able to grok the
ou hierarchy itself ...
Right now, I'm just doing uid=foo,ou=People,cn=domain,cn=com for all of
my users. I like the flat structure here, as I can enforce unique UIDs
across my enterprize, and because we like to reorg every few months
anyway. :)
Thanks,
