Distinguished NamesIf you want to access a directory object, a special LDAP-Name has to beused for each object - this applies for single objects as well as for wholecontainers. For example:cn=Michael Sandt,ou=Consultants,ou=colleague,dc=cerrotorre,dc=deActually, these are no special LDAP-Pathnames, but technical notationsfor X.500-Directory Objects. All directory services thatare discussed in the SelfADSI-Project, at least strive towards compatibilitywith the X.500 directory standard.The notation for X.500-Directory objects is also called DistinguishedName (DN).Originally, the syntax of Distinguished Names was established in. In the meantime, the more modern RFC-Specification applies here.A Distinguished Name represents an object in a hierarchical directory,at which the DN is written from lower to superior hierarchical levels fromleft to right. Every hierarchy level is written as follows:keyword=objectThe Distinguished Name for the object 'Philipp Foeckeler' in the domain'cerrotorre.de' would look like this:cn=Philipp Foeckeler,ou=Consultants,ou=HR,dc=cerrotorre,dc=deIn this case, the notation for only the object (without the remainingLDAP-Path) would be the so-called Relative Distinguished Name (RDN):cn=Philipp FoeckelerThe value of the Relative Distinguished Names (in this case 'Philipp Foeckeler')is exactly the notation with which the object in the Active Directory administrationis visible, too. It has nothing to do with the displayname of an AD objectand can only be changed with the function F2 (Context menu- Rename).The keywords (cn, ou, dc etc.) aren't case sensitive and have the followingmeanings:cn: Common Nameou: Organizational Unitdc: Domain ComponentThese are the three keywords mainly used in Active Directory LDAP.
