Hello!
I need to design tree to store mail users for multiple domains,
groupped in domain groups (it is required for administative purposses).
I see two ways to do it, but don't know which one will be the best:
The first idea is to group domains in domain groups
<root>
<OU domain group 1>
<OU domain1>
<CN user1>
<CN user2>
<CN user3>
<OU domain2>
<CN user1>
<CN user2>
<CN user3>
<OU domain group 2>
<OU domain3>
<CN user1>
<CN user2>
<CN user3>
<OU domain4>
<CN user1>
<CN user2>
<CN user3>
The second is to keep all domains in one place, but grup domains by
adding them as "members" to domain groups:
<root>
<domain groups>
<OU domain group1>
<member domain1>
<member domain2>
<OU domain group2>
<member domain3>
<member domain4>
<domains>
<OU domain1>
<CN user1>
<CN user2>
<CN user3>
<OU domain2>
<CN user1>
<CN user2>
<CN user3>
<OU domain3>
<CN user1>
<CN user2>
<CN user3>
<OU domain4>
<CN user1>
<CN user2>
<CN user3>
I prefer the first design, but I don't know how to write queries, to ask
about specific user@domain if I don't know domain group (MTA will ask
about this).
The second question is about user groups.
I can design them also in two ways: or by adding users as child nodes to
group, or as members. What is better ?
best regards
JT.
