See ACI.

access control list

See ACL.

access rights

In the context of access control, specify the level of access granted or denied. Access rights are

 

related to the type of operation that can be performed on the directory. The following rights

 

can be granted or denied: read, write, add, delete, search, compare, selfwrite, proxy and all.

account

Disables a user account, group of accounts, or an entire domain so that all authentication

inactivation

attempts are automatically rejected.

ACI

An instruction that grants or denies permissions to entries in the directory.

 

See also access control instruction.

ACL

The mechanism for controlling access to your directory.

 

See also access control list.

All IDs Threshold

Replaced with the ID list scan limit in Directory Server version 7.1. A size limit which is globally

 

applied to every index key managed by the server. When the size of an individual ID list reaches

 

this limit, the server replaces that ID list with an All IDs token.

 

See also ID list scan limit.

All IDs token

A mechanism which causes the server to assume that all directory entries match the index key.

 

In effect, the All IDs token causes the server to behave as if no index was available for the search

 

request.

anonymous

When granted, allows anyone to access directory information without providing credentials,

access

and regardless of the conditions of the bind.

approximate

Allows for efficient approximate or "sounds-like" searches.

index

 

attribute

Holds descriptive information about an entry. Attributes have a label and a value. Each attribute

 

also follows a standard syntax for the type of information that can be stored as the attribute

 

value.

attribute list

A list of required and optional attributes for a given entry type or object class.

authenticating

In pass-through authentication (PTA), the authenticating Directory Server is the Directory

directory server

Server that contains the authentication credentials of the requesting client. The PTA-enabled

 

host sends PTA requests it receives from clients to the host.

authentication

(1) Process of proving the identity of the client user to the Directory Server. Users must provide

 

a bind DN and either the corresponding password or certificate in order to be granted access

 

to the directory. Directory Server allows the user to perform functions or access files and

 

directories based on the permissions granted to that user by the directory administrator.

 

(2) Allows a client to make sure they are connected to a secure server, preventing another

 

computer from impersonating the server or attempting to appear secure when it is not.

authentication

Digital file that is not transferable and not forgeable and is issued by a third party. Authentication

certificate

certificates are sent from server to client or client to server in order to verify and authenticate

 

the other party.

B

 

base

See base DN.

distinguished

 

name

 

base DN

Base distinguished name. A search operation is performed on the base DN, the DN of the entry

 

and all entries below it in the directory tree.
