12 Best Practice for Breeze Directory Service Integration
Working with branches in Directory Service
When importing users and groups from an LDAP-compliant directory into the Breeze
directory, you may want to import only the users of a particular group within your
organization. To do this, you need to know where the entries for that group are located within
the directory tree structure. This depends on the particular topology or tree structure in the
directory you are importing from. LDAP allows a number of different possible arrangements.
One possible arrangement is shown below.
A common technique is to use the organization’s Internet domain as the root for the tree
structure. A company might then use
dc=com to specify the root element in the tree. A DN
that specifies the Singapore sales office for Acme, Inc. might then be:
ou=Singapore,
ou=Marketing, ou=Employess, dc=Acme, dc=com
. In this example, ou is an abbreviation
for organizational unit, and
dc is an abbreviation for domain component. In the Breeze
Directory Service tab, there are separate screens for specifying the branch DN for import of
users and import of groups.
