D
Gateway User Help
This appendix provides instructions for using the Directory Server 4.0 gateway
interface. The information supplied here is intended to be repurposed as help
topics that can be made available to gateway users from the Help button on
gateway forms. Topics include:
• Directory Tree Structure
• Searching the Directory
• Authentication
• Adding Entries Using the New Entry Form
Directory Tree Structure
The hierarchy of data in the directory can be represented by a tree. At the top
of the directory tree is the root entry (or suffix). The root entry usually
represents the organization entry for the directory (for example, o=airius.com).
The directory may contain more than one root entry. Before adding new
entries, make sure that you know which suffix the gateway is supporting.
Below the root entry are branches of the directory representing organizational
units. For example:
o=Airius.com
