The mapping of Mac OS X data types, or attributes, to LDAP attributes for each Â
record type
The LDAP search base and search scope that determine where Mac OS X looks for a Â
Mac OS X record type in an LDAP directory
When mapping Mac OS X user attributes to a read/write LDAP directory domain (an
LDAP domain that is not read-only), the LDAP attribute mapped to RealName must not
be the same as the rst attribute in a list of LDAP attributes mapped to RecordName.
For example, the cn attribute must not be the rst attribute mapped to RecordName if
cn is also mapped to RealName.
If the LDAP attribute mapped to RealName is the same as the rst attribute mapped to
RecordName, problems will occur when you try to edit the full (long) name or the rst
short name in Workgroup Manager.
For more information about Mac OS X record types and attributes, see
Appendix B, “Mac OS X Directory Data.”
