Ae_dir_name
typedef Dir_dn *Ae_dir_name;
Ae_dir_name is the primary structure for setting the directory
distinguished name when calling ft_connect(), ft_aeactivation(), and all
high level, context free (HLCF) functions. The embedded structures are
Dir_dn, Dir_rdn, and Dir_ava ( Figure 3-2). To have the system
automatically set the Ae_dir_name structure, call convert_ddn; the
source is in /opt/ftam/demos/cnvrt_addr.c.
