When should I use InetOrgPerson objects???

[Rockstar101]

Hello,

I can't seem to find the answer to this in google so I thought I'd try the experts on Tek Tips!

I know InetOrgPerson is the closest thing to a user object in LDAP/AD but when is it appropriate to use InetOrgPerson?

Thank you!

Typically if you were going to have AD co existing with other LDAP directories such as e-directory, sun one or openldap.

It is basically an object with defined attributes that all directories will agree upon, the MS user object has attributes that, for example, e-directory won't have or vice versa. But should you use inetorgperson the attributes will be the same across all the directories.
