Subject: going for a walk






I have a few questions about  Section  14.5  "Connection  to
other DSAs" in the Quipu manual.  It mentions 'walking down'
the DIT and that the DSA, obviously, needs to know where the
next  level  of the DIT is stored.  It mentions the non-leaf
entry must have a masterDSA or slaveDSA  attribute.   There-
fore, the entry might look something like this:

     ou=SALES
     masterDSA= c=US@cn=WILDANIMAL
     (other attributes)


My question is: where do I define the presentation  address?
Do  I create an 'cn' entry for 'WILDANIMAL' with the presen-
tation address in the same EDB file 'c=US/o=company/EDB'  as
the 'ou' entry, or do I create the 'cn' entry in an EDB file
'c=us/o=company/ou=SALES/EDB'.   I've  tried  both  and  get
'invalid  reference'  when using dish, so I must be way off.
Any help/examples will be appreciated.


My DIT is very simple (this is an example):

          c=us
           |
           |
          o=company
           |
           |
    ---------------------------------
    |                   |           |
    |                   |           |
  ou=Headquarters     ou=sales    ou=manufacturing



I     would     like     the     DSA     responsible     for
@c=us@o=company@ou=Headquarters  to  be  the  parent  to the
other two DSAs.
