[1] The sources for affiliation data is described in a Middleware and Information Services document. Access to this document is restricted to privilege group stanford:administrative.
[2] The list of University Primary Organization Identifiers is maintained by the Provost's office.
[3] Valid visibility values are world, stanford, private, or none.
[4] The Stanford directory takes advantage of OpenLDAP's valsort overlay. This allows the specification of an attribute weight for a the values of multi-valued attributes. The server will return the values sorted based on the weight. This means that the most "appropriate" value is returned first. Generally this is transparent to clients with the important exception of the specification of a search filter. Search filters must include the weight. For example, to search for all people that were an undergraduate at one time the filter (suStudentType={*}undergraduate) is required.
