Why each option
A typeless eDirectory name omits all attribute type qualifiers (CN=, OU=, O=), relying on positional order alone to identify each component.
.O=DA includes the O= attribute type qualifier, which by definition makes it a typed name, not typeless.
CN=Admin explicitly uses the CN= type qualifier, making it a typed relative distinguished name.
.Admin.SLC.DA is a typeless distinguished name because none of its components carry attribute type abbreviations such as CN=, OU=, or O=. The leading dot signals it is a complete distinguished name starting from the root, and eDirectory resolves each positional component by its place in the naming hierarchy rather than by an explicit type label.
.CN=Admin.OU=SLC.O=DA contains CN=, OU=, and O= type qualifiers on every component, making it a fully typed distinguished name.
OU=SLC.O=DA uses both the OU= and O= type qualifiers, classifying it as a typed partial (relative) name.
Concept tested: eDirectory typeless versus typed distinguished names
