X.500 Directory Specification Attribute Type

CN- common name (commonName).OU- organizational unit (organizationalUnitName).DC- domain component (domainComponent).

LDAP is based on a hierarchical tree structure where a query string such as:
cn=Dev-India,ou=Distribution Groups,dc=gp,dc=gl,dc=google,dc=com

For the example above, the query string references the Dev-India leaf found at the bottom of the tree:
