This illustration (oimig002) shows a directory information tree (DIT) in Oracle Internet Directory and corresponding multiple domains in Microsoft Active Directory. The DIT in Oracle Internet Directory extends downward from the root DSE to dc=com
to dc=MyCompany
to dc=us
. From there it divides into two branches: dc=a
and dc=b
. The node dc=a
extends to users
, and, similarly, the node dc=b
extends to users
. The multiple domains in Microsoft Active Directory has us.MyCompany.com
as the root. From there it extends downward to a.us.MyCompany.com
and b.us.MyCompany.com
. Each of the latter two nodes extends downward to a node labeled users
.
