N
An object’s complete name consists of its common name (if it has one),
followed by a period (.); then the name of the container object, also followed
by a period, and on up through succeeding container object names to the root
of the tree.
For example, in the following figure, for User object ESAYERS (the
common name), the complete name would be
ESAYERS.SALES PV.SALES.HEWLETT-PACKARD US
Figure 1-30 Complete and common names
When you
• Move from one container object to another
• Include the Country container object in your Directory tree
you must include the name type of the object in the complete name of the
object.
Under either of these conditions, you would express ESAYERS as
CN=ESAYERS.OU=SALES PV.OU=SALES.O=HEWLETT-
PACKARD US
where CN specifies the common name, OU specifies the Organizational Unit
name, and O specifies the Organization name.
