Description

This attribute specifies the common name of the object in the Secure Global Desktop datastore.

Names can include any characters you want. However we recommend that you avoid using the backslash \ character, the plus + character and apostrophes in object names as this can cause problems.

If you use a forward slash in an object name, you must backslash protect (escape) it. For example, to create an object with the relative name cn=a/b beneath o=organisation, type cn=a\/b. This will create an object o=organisation/"cn=a/b".

On the command line, make sure you quote any names containing spaces.
