I did intend what I wrote. An RDN does not necessarily mean one name component. The use of multiple RDN attributes is another dimension all together. I'm sure that's going to give Ole a headache :). A name component can have multiple attributes used as Emmanuel states but this is not what I meant.
I've seen RDN referred to as a general term to describe a part of a DN even if it is composed of more than one name component. In the server code I have often named variables rdn and do not consider them to be of length 1. Sometimes the RDN can be greater than 1 in length.

This is two name components but it's still relative > hence it's an RDN. I guess that Alex wanted to write 'cn=oersoy+ou=users'. 'cn=oersory,ou=users' is not a RDN, it's a DN composed of two RDNs. Basically, DN = (RDN)*. The rigthmost part of a DN is, well, the rightmost part. It MAY be the root of a partition, if it has be declared as so in the server.xml file (and then it can't be split).
