Re: Organizational structure - chart

[luiz@pucrs.br]

Hello

There is one interesting documentation in this URL:

http://ldapman.org/articles/

In general, it´s better to use one differente approach than the
organizational structure, to permit more flexibility. For example, I´m
using a schema like this:

dc=domain
 |
 |
 +----------------+-----------------+
 |                |                 |
ou=people         ou=profiles       ou=ITaccounts
 |
 |
 +----------------+-----------------+
 |                |                 |
ou=employees      ou=teachers       ou=graduation

Another point: I tried to change the "people" OU to "funcionarios" (I´m
brazilian :-) ), but I had some headache with this because my Solaris 9
doesn´t works fine with a different model to the primary OUs (people,
profile, accounts, etc).
I hope this help you a little. :-)

Best regards

Folks,
My apologies if this thread has occurred before, as I suspect it has. I
welcome redirection to a faq or other discussion.

What are the best ways to construct a schema/namespace that represent an
organizational structure? I have an org chart that has a collection of
offices that are organized as a tree to an arbitrary depth. eg:

Office of Operations

             Director
 555-1212
             Director Business Mangagement                         555-1313
                         Procurement
555-1213
                         Payroll
 555-1214
             Director Info Technology
555-1215

etc.

Is the semi-hierarchy with a flat base the best way to go? What other
schemes are viable?

Thanks,
Dave
