It has been my experience that setting up 389 was the easy part.  The
hard part was doing what you have asked.  In other words, before setting
up the directory, we needed to understand how the directory would be
used and what needed to be stored.  Those are fundamentally business
process questions and not technology questions and would be answered by
looking into your business process.  Once that has been answered in
business process terms, then one can translate that into a tree layout
and object types.  Of course, I may have misunderstood what you are
asking :-)  Good luck - John
