This menu option changes the display of distinguished names in the object list and in the attribute list panel. When the button is pressed, the names are shown in Novell notation:
Each object has a distinguished name which determines not only the object's name itself but also
the place where the object is stored in the directory hierarchy. These distinguished names are
specified in RFC 4514 and
you can find a good description
on LDAP distinguished names in the SelfADSI tutorial. In some directory environments, the
distinguished name are handled not in the pure LDAP way, but with a slightly different notation.
Primarily in Novell eDirectory environments the dotted notation is widely used. So you can switch
to this output if you want.
Example for an LDAP distinguished name:
cn=Philipp,ou=Developers,ou=Sydney,o=CerroTorreSoftware
Example for the same name in Novell notation:
Philipp.Developers.Sydney.CerroTorreSoftware
You could change the object name display also with the Show Distinguished Names in Novell Notation button . But please note that you see the dotted Novell notation only if you disable
the friendly name output for the distinguished names. But
if you display full distinguished names and activate the output in Novell notation, this is also
applied to the attribute list:
