bind

See bind DN.

distinguished

 

name

 

bind DN

Distinguished name used to authenticate to Directory Server when performing an operation.

bind rule

In the context of access control, the bind rule specifies the credentials and conditions that a

 

particular user or client must satisfy in order to get access to directory information.

branch entry

An entry that represents the top of a subtree in the directory.

browser

Software, such as Mozilla Firefox, used to request and view World Wide Web material stored

 

as HTML files. The browser uses the HTTP protocol to communicate with the host server.

browsing index

Speeds up the display of entries in the Directory Server Console. Browsing indexes can be

 

created on any branch point in the directory tree to improve display performance.

 

See also virtual list view index .

C

 

CA

See Certificate Authority.

cascading

In a cascading replication scenario, one server, often called the hub supplier, acts both as a

replication

consumer and a supplier for a particular replica. It holds a read-only replica and maintains a

 

changelog. It receives updates from the supplier server that holds the master copy of the data

 

and in turn supplies those updates to the consumer.

certificate

A collection of data that associates the public keys of a network user with their DN in the

 

directory. The certificate is stored in the directory as user object attributes.

Certificate

Company or organization that sells and issues authentication certificates. You may purchase

Authority

an authentication certificate from a Certification Authority that you trust. Also known as a CA.

CGI

Common Gateway Interface. An interface for external programs to communicate with the HTTP

 

server. Programs written to use CGI are called CGI programs or CGI scripts and can be written

 

in many of the common programming languages. CGI programs handle forms or perform

 

output parsing that is not done by the server itself.

chaining

A method for relaying requests to another server. Results for the request are collected, compiled,

 

then returned to the client.

changelog

A changelog is a record that describes the modifications that have occurred on a replica. The

 

supplier server then replays these modifications on the replicas stored on replica servers or on

 

other masters, in the case of multi-master replication.

character type

Distinguishes alphabetic characters from numeric or other characters and the mapping of

 

upper-case to lower-case letters.

ciphertext

Encrypted information that cannot be read by anyone without the proper key to decrypt the

 

information.

class definition

Specifies the information needed to create an instance of a particular object and determines

 

how the object works in relation to other objects in the directory.

class of service

See CoS.

classic CoS

A classic CoS identifies the template entry by both its DN and the value of one of the target

 

entry's attributes.

client

See LDAP client.

code page

An internal table used by a locale in the context of the internationalization plug-in that the

 

operating system uses to relate keyboard keys to character font screen displays.

collation order

Provides language and cultural-specific information about how the characters of a given

 

language are to be sorted. This information might include the sequence of letters in the alphabet

 

or how to compare letters with accents to letters without accents.

consumer

Server containing replicated directory trees or subtrees from a supplier server.

consumer server

In the context of replication, a server that holds a replica that is copied from a different server

 

is called a consumer for that replica.

CoS

A method for sharing attributes between entries in a way that is invisible to applications.
