LDAP Feature for the Remote Console Switch : The Structure of Active Directory : Attributes

Attributes
There is one more hierarchy used in AD. Associated with each object class is a set of “attributes” used to store specific information about the entity that is being represented. For example, associated with the User object class is an attribute type named SAM ACCOUNT NAME and others such as FIRST NAME, SURNAME, PASSWORD, etc. The suite of Dell Remote Console Switches uses the SAM ACCOUNT NAME and PASSWORD attributes to authenticate a user (the formal AD names for these two attributes are sAMAccountName and unicodePWD, respectively).
