HP UX Direry Server manual Pta

presence index	Allows searches for entries that contain a specific indexed attribute.
protocol	A set of rules that describes how devices on a network exchange information.
protocol data unit	See PDU.
proxy	A special form of authentication where the user requesting access to the directory does not bind
authentication	with its own DN but with a proxy DN.
proxy DN	Used with proxied authorization. The proxy DN is the DN of an entry that has access permissions
	to the target on which the client-application is attempting to perform an operation.
PTA	Mechanism by which one Directory Server consults another to check bind credentials. Also
	pass-through authentication.
PTA directory	In pass-through authentication (PTA), the PTA Directory Server is the server that sends (passes
server	through) bind requests it receives to the authenticating directory server.
PTA LDAP URL	In pass-through authentication, the URL that defines the authenticating directory server,
	pass-through subtree(s), and optional parameters.
R
RAM	Random access memory. The physical semiconductor-based memory in a computer. Information
	stored in RAM is lost when the computer is shut down.
RDN	The name of the actual entry itself, before the entry's ancestors have been appended to the string
	to form the full distinguished name. Also relative distinguished name.
read-only replica	A replica that refers all update operations to read-write replicas. A server can hold any number
	of read-only replicas.
read-write replica	A replica that contains a master copy of directory information and can be updated. A server
	can hold any number of read-write replicas.
referential	Mechanism that ensures that relationships between related entries are maintained within the
integrity	directory.
referral	(1) When a server receives a search or update request from an LDAP client that it cannot process,
	it usually sends back to the client a pointer to the LDAP sever that can process the request.
	(2) In the context of replication, when a read-only replica receives an update request, it forwards
	it to the server that holds the corresponding read-write replica. This forwarding process is
	called a referral.
relative	See RDN.
distinguished
name
replica	A database that participates in replication.
replica-initiated	Replication configuration where replica servers, either hub or consumer servers, pull directory
replication	data from supplier servers. This method is available only for legacy replication.
replication	Act of copying directory trees or subtrees from supplier servers to replica servers.
replication	Set of configuration parameters that are stored on the supplier server and identify the databases
agreement	to replicate, the replica servers to which the data is pushed, the times during which replication
	can occur, the DN and credentials used by the supplier to bind to the consumer, and how the
	connection is secured.
RFC	Request for Comments. Procedures or standards documents submitted to the Internet
	community. People can send comments on the technologies before they become accepted
	standards.
role	An entry grouping mechanism. Each role has members, which are the entries that possess the
	role.
role-based	Attributes that appear on an entry because it possesses a particular role within an associated
attributes	CoS template.
root	The most privileged user available on Unix machines. The root user has complete access
	privileges to all files on the machine.
root suffix	The parent of one or more sub suffixes. A directory tree can contain more than one root suffix.
