Usage
A canonical hierarchical name is a series
of components separated by slashes. Each component starts with a keyword
and equals sign. Domino names
use the following components:
CN (common name),
OU (organizational
unit - up to four are permitted),
O (organization),
and
C (country). Domino names
do not use the following components but this class recognizes them:
G (given
name),
I (initial),
S (surname),
Q (generation;
for example, "Jr"),
A (ADMD name), and
P (PRMD
name).
The following is an example of a Domino hierarchical name in canonical format.
It uses two of the available organizational units. The hierarchy is
right to left, so East is organizational unit 1 and Sales is
organizational unit 2.
CN=John B Goode/OU=Sales/OU=East/O=Acme/C=US
An
abbreviated name is a series of components separated by slashes. The
components are not identified by keyword but depend on order for identification.
The above name in abbreviated format is as follows:
John B Goode/Sales/East/Acme/US
This
class does not abbreviate a canonical name if the abbreviation would
be ambiguous. For example,
CN=John B Goode/OU=East cannot
be abbreviated because
East would appear to be the
organization (rather than an organizational unit). This class also
does not abbreviate a canonical name if it contains any of the components
not used in Domino names.
A
specification of an abbreviated name can include only those components
used in Domino names. The
components must be in proper sequence. The following are acceptable:
- common name/country
- common name/organization (unless the name of
the organization is identical to a country code)
- common name/organization/country
- common name/organizational unit/organization/country (up
to four organizational units)
A common name by itself is interpreted as a flat name. A common
name followed by a slash receives the organizational and country information
of the effective user.
A name that conforms to RFC 821 or RFC
822 is interpreted as an Internet address. Examples of Internet addresses
are as follows:
- jbg@us.acme.com
- "John B Goode" <jbg@us.acme.com>
- "John B Goode" <jbg@us.acme.com> (Sales) (East)
