Figure 2.2. Directory Information Tree Showing Configuration Data

Most of these configuration tree nodes are covered in the following sections.

The cn=plugins node is covered in Chapter 3, Plug-in Implemented Server Functionality

Reference. The description of each attribute contains details such as the DN of its directory

entry, its default value, the valid range of values, and an example of its use.
