Prefix mapping lets LDAP servers, other DSAs, or agents map into a backbone namespace.
Prefix mapping is useful for collecting disjointed subtrees under a common node. Applications include transient groupings (such as task forces) or logical groupings (such as libraries where individual libraries are spread across an organization or location tree).
Prefix mapping is also useful for if you want to integrate an LDAP server into a backbone. Because LDAP servers have no concept of distribution, their DITs usually contain the first- or second-level nodes. This makes it hard to integrate them into a host DIT.
To enable prefix mapping, configure the DSA's native prefix, using the set dsa command or DXmanager.
