SUMMARY
For a Systems Management Server 2.0 site to successfully create a client access point (CAP) and logon point on a NetWare Directory Services (NDS) volume, there are certain naming conventions that must be followed. This article documents the required naming conventions.



Tree Names
The following apply to tree names:
 * The NDS tree can contain up to 32 ASCII characters. Accepted characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, hyphen ("-"), and the underscore ("_").
 * The NDS tree can NOT start or end with an underscore character, nor can it contain two consecutive underscores (__).
 * The NDS tree name can NOT contain any spaces.

Container and Volume Names
The following apply to container and volume names:
 * They may not contain any of the following:


 * Slashes ("/")
 * Backslashes ("\")
 * Colons (":")
 * Commas (",")
 * Asterisks ("*")
 * Question marks ("?")
 * Object names are NOT case-sensitive.

Distinguished Names
The following apply to distinguished names:
 * Distinguished names MUST contain an Organization (O); this is the top level of the Systems Management Server tree.
 * Use of the Country (C) in distinguished names is optional. If the C is used, it cannot be longer than two characters.
