Field Name | Description |
---|---|
Placement Container DN | Defines the container directly under which new Sponsored Account objects are placed in the directory. |
Uniqueness Container DN | Container to search for uniqueness when creating new sponsored accounts. For instance, if JSmith already exists in this container the new sponsored account would be created as JSmith1.
