The correct answer is C. No, User objects can't reside directly below the tree root. This eDirectory tree design fails because User objects are leaf objects and cannot be placed directly below the tree root, which only accepts Country, Organization, or Alias objects as direct children.

Question

You're designing your organization's eDirectory tree. You have decided to name your tree ACME_CORP-TREE . You've created a Country object below the tree root and named it US. Within C=US, you've created four Organization objects for each of your organization's functional divisions. To ease administration, you've decided to place your Admin user object directly below the tree root. Will this design work?

Options

  • AYes, all eDirectory rules have been observed.
  • BNo, you can't use an underscore in the tree name.
  • CNo, User objects can't reside directly below the tree root .
  • DNo, Country objects can't reside directly below the tree root.
  • ENo, Country objects must use the full name of the country they represent, not its abbreviation.
  • FNo, if you use Country objects, the next level down the tree must represent geographic locations,

Why each option

This eDirectory tree design fails because User objects are leaf objects and cannot be placed directly below the tree root, which only accepts Country, Organization, or Alias objects as direct children.

AYes, all eDirectory rules have been observed.

The design violates eDirectory placement rules because a User leaf object cannot exist directly under the tree root.

BNo, you can't use an underscore in the tree name.

Underscores are valid characters in eDirectory tree names, so ACME_CORP-TREE is an acceptable name.

CNo, User objects can't reside directly below the tree root .Correct

The eDirectory tree root can only directly contain Country (C=), Organization (O=), or Alias objects as immediate subordinates. User objects are leaf objects that must reside inside an Organization or Organizational Unit container. Placing an Admin User directly under the root violates this schema constraint and the design will not work.

DNo, Country objects can't reside directly below the tree root.

Country objects are explicitly permitted as direct children of the tree root, so this statement is incorrect.

ENo, Country objects must use the full name of the country they represent, not its abbreviation.

eDirectory Country objects use standard two-letter ISO 3166 abbreviations such as US, not full country names, so the C=US object is valid.

FNo, if you use Country objects, the next level down the tree must represent geographic locations,

The rule that Organization objects must follow Country objects is not the violation here; the Admin User placement is the actual problem.
