<div><p>View this information to learn about the distinguished name (DN)
|
||
|
|
hierarchy.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>A parent distinguished name (DN) is an entry in a Lightweight Directory
|
||
|
|
Access Protocol (LDAP) directory server namespace. LDAP server entries are
|
||
|
|
arranged in a hierarchical structure that could reflect political, geographic,
|
||
|
|
organizational, or domain boundaries. A distinguished name is considered a
|
||
|
|
parent DN when the DN is the directory entry immediately superior to a given
|
||
|
|
DN.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>An example of a complete distinguished name could be <samp class="codeph">cn=Tim Jones,
|
||
|
|
o=IBM, c=US</samp>. Each entry has at least one attribute that is used to
|
||
|
|
name the entry. This naming attribute is called the relative distinguished
|
||
|
|
name (RDN™)
|
||
|
|
of the entry. The entry above a given RDN is called its parent distinguished name.
|
||
|
|
In this example, <samp class="codeph">cn=Tim Jones</samp> names the entry, so it is the RDN. <samp class="codeph">o=IBM,
|
||
|
|
c=US</samp> is the parent DN for <samp class="codeph">cn=Tim Jones</samp>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM) uses a directory server as a <a href="rzalveserverdmnctrlr.htm#rzalveserverdmnctrlr">domain
|
||
|
|
controller</a> for storing EIM domain data. The parent DN combined with
|
||
|
|
the EIM domain name determines the location of EIM domain data in the directory
|
||
|
|
server namespace. When you use the EIM Configuration wizard to create and
|
||
|
|
join a new domain, you can choose to specify a parent DN for the domain that
|
||
|
|
you are creating. By using a parent DN, you can specify where in the LDAP
|
||
|
|
namespace that EIM data should reside for the domain. When you do not specify
|
||
|
|
a parent DN, EIM data resides in its own suffix in the namespace and the default
|
||
|
|
location of the EIM domain data is <samp class="codeph">ibm-eimDomainName=EIM</samp>.</p>
