Creating Users
For example, if a user entry for Billie Holiday is created within the
organizational unit Marketing, and the directory’s base DN is o=Ace
Industry, c=US, then the person’s DN is:
cn=Billie Holiday, ou=Marketing, o=Ace Industry, c=US

• Sometimes a user’s name can be more accurately represented in characters

that language, even when the default language is English. For more
information regarding setting a user’s preferred language, see “The Manage
Users Page,” in the online help.
