Distributed Directory Tree -

["Manel Euro" <euro_32@hotmail.com>]

Hello,

I am reconstructing my company' directory.
Right now, each location has its own directory.
My objective is to make use of the hierarchical proprieties of LDAP.
So I would have the following tree:


                                    dc=example,dc=com
                                                   |
                                     /                          \
                              ou=LocationA            ou=LocationB
                                   /               \                   /    
         \
                        ou=People  ou=Group       ou=People   ou=Groups



Delegating LocationA and LocationB OUs to the admins from A and B.
My problem is that I want a user A from LocationA to be able to login when 
he is down in LocationB. The current tree wouldn't allow me to provide that 
so I created another tree:


                                    dc=example,dc=com
                                                   |
                                     /                                   \
                              ou=People                         ou=Groups
                              /               \                          /  
               \
              ou=LocationA ou=LocationB     ou=LocationA   ou=LocationB

and configure /etc/ldap.conf and  /etc/nsswitch to access ou=People and 
Ou=groups.
My problem is that I don't know if this will affect the use of the directory 
and became a problem.

As  I have no experience on this I would like to know what do you think of 
this DIT?

Thanks,
MF.
