What is Relative Distinguished Names (RDNs)?

A Relative Distinguished Name is like a label that helps us find things inside a big box of organized stuff.

Imagine you have a big toy chest, and inside it are many smaller boxes. Each small box has a name tag on it so you can easily tell which one holds your favorite cars or your building blocks. A Relative Distinguished Name is like that name tag, it helps us find where something lives in the bigger picture.

Think of an address: "Sarah's house, on Maple Street, in Springfield." Each part tells you a little more about where Sarah lives. In the same way, an RDN gives clues about where something is located in a larger group.

For example, in a school, your classroom might be labeled as "Room 205," and that room is inside "Building B." So, your full address could be "Room 205, Building B, School of Fun." That’s like having multiple RDNs stacked together to help find exactly where you need to go.
