Parent node

An LDAP service node, under which the address data is appended.

If a parent node is specified, the entries for basic nodes and replacement parent nodes have no significance. You should therefore only enter a parent node if you do not want to use the LDAP standard schema.

 

Basic nodes

The basic nodes of the LDAP service, under which the paths to the user data (e.g. cn=Jackson, ou=Sales) can be found. In addition, a replacement parent node which can be used if errors occur should be entered. For example, if the department entry is not maintained for an R/3 address, the node ou cannot be created.

o=examplecompany, c=usa

Replacement parent node

  

o=examplecompany, c=usa
