Account Containers

Hierarchical namespace accounts, such as ADS, LDAP, eWac, NDS, and PLS (CA SSO WAC Namespace), are stored in containers.

An account object in a hierarchical namespace is identified by the following ID string:

Account=xyzaccount,Container=ChildContainer,Container=ParentContainer,EndPoint=EXAMPLE_ENDPOINT,Namespace=EXAMPLE_NAMESPACE,Domain=EXAMPLE_DOMAIN,Server=Server

If there is more than one container type in the endpoint, specify “Container.type=” instead of just “Container=” in the ID string. Container types are set to be the same as the LDAP objectClass of the container entry.
