0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.25 is the OID for DomainComponent (AKA dc) 2.5.4.3 is the OID for CommonName (AKA cn)
You can use either 2.5.4.3, CommonName or CN, they represent exactly the same thing. However, I engage you to use 'cn' which is shorter... Emmanuel On 7/21/07, Markus Pohle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi list, I used a ApacheDS in version 1.5.0 (officially released version downloaded from directory website) on my server and created my on partition with the following ldap structure: dn: dc=DOUGLASHOLDING objectClass: domain objectClass: extensibleObject objectClass: top dc: douglasholding dn: dc=VERWALTUNG,dc=DOUGLASHOLDING objectClass: domain objectClass: top 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.25: verwaltung dc: VERWALTUNG dn: cn=users,dc=VERWALTUNG,dc=DOUGLASHOLDING objectClass: organizationalRole objectClass: top 2.5.4.3: users cn: users dn: dc=APPLICATIONS,dc=DOUGLASHOLDING objectClass: domain objectClass: top 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.25: applications dc: APPLICATIONS dn: cn=cms,dc=APPLICATIONS,dc=DOUGLASHOLDING objectClass: organizationalRole objectClass: top 2.5.4.3: cms cn: cms Then I needed to switch to apacheds-1.5.1-snapshot release that Alex Karasulu due to apacheds-tools problems with version 1.5.0 build for me. And what I found out browsing the ldap schema using LDAP Studio on the apacheds-1.5.1-snapshot is the following: dn: dc=DOUGLASHOLDING objectClass: domain objectClass: extensibleObject objectClass: top dc: douglasholding dn: dc=VERWALTUNG,dc=DOUGLASHOLDING objectClass: domain objectClass: top dc: VERWALTUNG dn: cn=users,dc=VERWALTUNG,dc=DOUGLASHOLDING objectClass: organizationalRole objectClass: top cn: users dn: dc=APPLICATIONS,dc=DOUGLASHOLDING objectClass: domain objectClass: top dc: APPLICATIONS dn: cn=cms,dc=APPLICATIONS,dc=DOUGLASHOLDING objectClass: organizationalRole objectClass: top cn: cms And here comes the question: What are these additional objectclasses for that can be seen in the upper example of the ldap structure, e.g.: 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.25: applications 2.5.4.3: cms What are they good for? Are they essentially/neccessary? And why can the ldap schema on the apacheds-1.5.1-snapshot run without them? Any explanation is really appreciated. TIA Markus
