A set of default properties is associated with each domain user account that you create. For domain user accounts, these account properties equate to object attributes. You can use the properties that you define for a domain user account to search for users in the directory, or the properties can be used in other applications as object attributes. For this reason, you should provide detailed definitions for each domain user account that you create. For example, if a user knows a person's last name and wants to find the person's telephone number, the user can use the last name to search for the telephone number.
