Re: Newbie question about ldif

The objectClass (which is an attribute in and of itself) defines what "must" or "could" be used in an entry. Choose the collection of objectClass attribute for each type of data needed, for example: 

dn: cn=bakshi,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
cn: bakshi
sn: bakshi
userPassword: a_password
description: a user entry

Dear all,

greetings to all.
Hope I have joined the right list to discuss about openldap technology. 

I am working with typo3 and openldap. Typo3 is a CMS ( content
management system ) just like Drupal, Joomla etc..
I like to implement an openldap based system where I can have a
organization based structure like department, company etc and can store 
persons with their name, address, contact  along with  userid/password
which will be used to authenticate the front end user login in typo3.
To start with I need a well designed ldif file. I have already get some 
example ldif from internet  but those are missing the useris/password
authentication.
More over the " objectclass: organizationalPerson " " objectclass: 
inetOrgPerson "   "objectClass: dcObject"  "objectClass: organization"
are very much confusing :-(

Could any one kindly enlighten me a little about those "objectcalss"
and which one is best suited for my  requirement ?
A sample  ldif file with little explanation will help me a great.

Thanks
