LDAP containers are represented by a hierarchical tree structure. Containers are often used to display organizational units such as branch offices or departments, to organize LDAP directory objects such as users, groups, and computers logically, and therefore to ease the burden of object administration. LDAP directory containers are loaded by synchronization with the One Identity Manager database.
