LDAP Hierarchy

LDAP directories are arranged in an hierarchal tree-like structure. In the Zimbra system, the structure is arranged based on Internet domain names. LDAP entries typically include items such as user accounts, organizations, or servers.

Figure  shows the Zimbra LDAP hierarchy. Each type of entry (object) has certain associated object classes.
