4. Name Forms

In general entries should be named using a recognized or official form. Alternative names should be supplied, for the purposes of searching, as separate attribute values of the naming attribute. Where appropriate it is recommended that alternative language values be supplied.

The following sections associate entries with a recommended naming attribute.

4.1 Person

Person entries should be named by the commonName attribute.

The format of the name value should be the sequence of initials and then surname. Alternative values may contain the full name and, if appropriate, any other common nicknames.

In cases where names clash a multi-valued relative distinguished name should be used. A suitable attribute is uniqueIdentifier.

4.2 Organizational Role

Role entries should be named using the commonName attribute.

The name value should be the full title ascribed to the role.

4.3 Organization

Organization entries are named by the organizationName attribute.

National entities usually have an official organization name registered with a national name registration body. The official name must be used as the naming value. Alternative names, i.g. commonly used abbreviations, may be listed as extra values.

4.4 Organizational Unit

Departmental entries should be named using the organizationalUnitName attribute.

The name value should be the full name of the department.
