Containers

The container entry is used when, due to object class and attribute differences, it is not possible to use an organization entry. It is important to remember that the Identity Server container entry and the Identity Server organization entry are not necessarily equivalent to the LDAP object classes organizationalUnit and organization. They are abstract Identity entries. Ideally, the organization entry will be used instead of the container entry.


Note

The display of containers is optional. To view containers you must select Display Containers in Menu in the Identity Server Administration service.
