+====== X.500 Directory Specification Attribute Type ======
+From [[http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2253.txt|RFC2253]]:
+  * ''CN'' - common name (''commonName'').
+  * ''OU'' - organizational unit (''organizationalUnitName'').
+  * ''DC'' - domain component (''domainComponent'').

+====== Understanding LDAP Hierarchy ======
+LDAP is based on a hierarchical tree structure where a query string such as:
+<code>
+cn=Dev-India,ou=Distribution Groups,dc=gp,dc=gl,dc=google,dc=com
+</code>
+is read from right to left, where right-most represents the top of the tree and the left represents a leaf.
+For the example above, the query string references the ''Dev-India'' leaf found at the bottom of the tree:
