Question
The LDAP protocol is based on the Client/Server structure to provide binding and query of directory information. All directory information is stored on the LDAP server. In the LDAP protocol, the directory is organized according to a tree structure. The directory is composed of entries, and the entries are attribute sets with distinguished names (DN). Which of the following is a domain name attribute of LDAP?
Options
- ADC
- BCN
- COU
- DDN

Explanation
DC (Domain Component) is the LDAP attribute used to represent domain name components - each part of a DNS domain name becomes a separate DC attribute. For example, example.com becomes DC=example,DC=com in an LDAP distinguished name. The other options are valid LDAP attributes but serve different purposes: CN (Common Name) identifies a specific object like a user or group (e.g., CN=John Smith); OU (Organizational Unit) represents a subdivision within an organization (e.g., OU=Engineering); DN (Distinguished Name) is not an attribute at all - it's the full unique path to an entry, assembled from attributes like DC, CN, and OU.
Memory tip: Think "DC = Domain Component" - the D in both DC and Domain is your anchor. A full LDAP DN often reads like a path from specific to general: CN=John,OU=Sales,DC=example,DC=com, so DC always anchors the domain at the end.
