How is the Kerberos Principal Integrated in to the LDAP
Directory?
A directory contains a collection of objects organized in a tree structure.
You can arrange entries within the DIT based on their Distinguished
Names (DNs). A DN is composed of a sequence of RDNs separated by
commas, such as cn=alex,ou=R&D,o=bambi.
Figure 1-2, displays how a Kerberos principal is integrated in to the
LDAP directory.
