Mapping Locations and Entry Types
58 Red Hat Directory Server Gateway Customization Guide • April 2005
In the example, locations defined in the newtype parameter (such as country, org, or
groups) correspond to handles defined in the location parameter. The friendly names
(in quotes) in the third column indicate the choices that will appear in pull-down menus on
gateway forms.
See “Entry Types (Object Classes),” on page 55, for more information.
Setting Up Organizational Units
Assuming that the root DN is set to o=example.com, the mappings in the following
example can be used to create people in the following organizational units:
ou=Accounting, o=example.com
ou=Human Resources, o=example.com
ou=Payroll, o=example.com
ou=Product Development, o=example.com
ou=Product Testing, o=example.com
