Is there any disadvantage using a single dc?
I mean, I work at a small company and I'm setting up a small ldap repository, for me is enough to use just a "dc=my_company".
dc-style DNs are meant to be mapped to DNS domain names. Note that DNS names does not allow an underscore. Since there wasn't a globally unique name space established this is the way to go to create DNs which are registered to your company like DNS domain names.
So I have registered stroeder.com. So it's suitable for me to use dc=stroeder,dc=com or whatever below of that.
You could also just use "o=My company name".
But slapd says something about less performance.
Uuuh? Where did you read this? Please post the exact message and where you found it. I suspect it's just a message caused by a missing DB_CONFIG file.
Ciao, Michael.
