Dear All,
I am new to these LDAP concepts , i have prepared a DIT for our
organization with two academic institutions with each institution having
different branches of study and also there is staff and students . i have
attached the DIT , if am going through a wrong way kindly guide me.
Generally, I would recommend something like
dc=example,dc=com
below that:
cn=people,dc=example,dc=com
cn=groups,dc=example,dc=com
cn=orgs,dc=example,dc=com
etc
If you want to track people's affiliation (staff, student, etc), you should
do that IN the person entry itself. It is not uncommon, particularly in
educational institutions, for people to be both staff & student, etc.
You can also store organizational affiliations for the person within the
person object. You may want to take a look at how Stanford University
organized its ldap server.
