The file includes the Root DSE (named by "") and the entire contents ofcn=config. When the server generates the dse.ldif file it lists the entries inhierarchical order. It does so in the order that the entries appear in the directoryunder cn=config.Configuration AttributesWithin a configuration entry, each attribute is represented as an attribute name.The value of the attribute corresponds to the attribute’s configuration.
