Context defines the position of an object within the Directory tree structure. It is a list of container objects leading from the object to the root of the tree. Specifying the context preempts the need to specify the FQDN (fully qualified distinguished name) of the user.A context search file allows Macintosh users to log in to the network without specifying their full context. When the Macintosh user enters a username, the server searches through each context in the list until it finds the correct user object.
