If I have an entry: dn: dc=example,dc=com objectClass: dcObject dc: example o: My example Assuming my DNS name is example.com. In section 4 of RFC2247, it refers to dc as "The value of this attribute is a string holding one component of a domain name.". It seems to me that "dc: example" means we are mapping the DNS name "example.com" to the directory's dn: dc=example,dc=com. Is this the true? If this is true, then my next question is, since we are mapping example.com to dn: dc=example,dc=com, it makes sense to have dc=example.com, rather than dc=example, right? (I understand the RFC2247 says it holds ONE component). Obviously, I am missing something.
It holds one component of the domain name. "example" is one component. "com" is another component. Hence "dc=example,dc=com".
