O
Figure 1-38 Complete and common names
At times, such as when you move from one container object to another, you
must include the object’s name type in the complete object name.
For example, in the previous figure you would express ESAYERS as
CN=ESAYERS.OU=SALES PV.OU=SALES.O=HEWLETT-
PACKARD US
(where CN is the common name, OU is the Organizational Unit name, and O
is the Organization name).
NOTE: When you include the Country container object in a Directory tree, always designate
the object’s name type (CN or OU or O), even when you refer to objects located in
the same container object.
When querying the Directory, you can supply the object’s complete name;
then receive information that describes that object.
Or, you can supply an object’s property value and receive a list of object
names that have that value.
For example, to find all users with a last name of Smith, then “Smith” is the
value you want to find in the last name property of User objects.
