Mapping NT User Account Information to LDAP
The schema for two object classes—ntUser and ntGroup—that support Windows NT user accounts ships with the iPlanet Directory Server. Some of the LDAP attributes contained in these object classes correspond directly to Windows NT user account fields. These are shown in TABLE 12-1.

For each Windows NT user account as well as for Windows NT groups, an equivalent LDAP entry is created with these mapped fields. Also, if an ntUser LDAP entry is created, an equivalent Windows NT user account is created.
