Object names
The path from an object to the root of the Directory tree forms the object’s
complete name (sometimes called the distinguished name), which is a
unique name.
Most leaf objects have a common name. For User objects, the common
name is their login name, displayed in the Directory tree.
Other leaf objects also have common names that are displayed in the
Directory tree, such as a Printer object name or a NetWare Server object
name. If you are referring to an object in the same container object as your
User object, then you only need to refer to that object by its common name,
instead of by its complete name.
Container objects don’t have common names. They are referred to by their
Organizational Unit name, Organization name, or Country name.
