Custom Editor for Organizational Units

Use this dialog to create or edit the entry representing an organizational unit. Organizational units may represent real units or divisions of the users stored in directory, but they are also often used to create structure in the directory tree. For this reason, organizational unit entries often contain little information and are used as the parent of other entries.

Tab Column

The left-hand column of tabs displays the different categories of data you may enter for an organizational unit:

Unit. This tab contains the data fields for identifying the unit and specifying its information.

Languages. This tab contains the user's preferred language and locale-specific strings for displaying the user's information in other languages.

Unit Information

By default, the generic editor opens with the Unit tab selected.

Name. Enter the name of the organizational unit. This name will appear in the DN of the organizational unit entry as the value of the ou naming attribute.

Description. (Optional) Enter a description of the organizational unit.

The following fields are only used when this entry represents a real unit or division of a corporation or entity.

Phone. (Optional) Enter a phone number where one can reach a contact (such as an administrative assistant) for the organizational unit.

Fax. (Optional) Enter a fax number where one can reach a contact for the organizational unit.

Alias. (Optional) Enter a nickname or acronym that you might use in place of the name you entered above.
