    I began to read LDAP System Administration but ObjectClasses, RDNs, multiple-valued attributes have all mixed-up in my head. Especially I wanna understand the last one. See, I'm not a programmer .. mb some further studying?

    Use Google to find book 'LDAP for Rocket Scientists'.
    It's really good source for that information.

    To start with you need to know these terms:

    cn is "common name"
    dn is "distinguished name"
    ou is "organizational unit"
    o is "organization"
    dc is "domain component

    Still there are more.

    LDAP has a base dn. With a tree structure you need a point to start. Mostly your base dn will be the domain name like cisco.com.

    base dn is "dc = cisco, dc = com"

    You can also see the following base DN types:

    o="idevelopment", c=US
    (base DN in X.500 format)

    o=idevelopment.info
    (base DN derived from the company's Internet presence)



    dc=idevelopment, dc=info
    (base DN derived from the company's DNS domain components)

    Under the base dn, you will have containers.
