entry

affects.

CoS template

entry

See also template entry.

D

 

daemon

A background process on a Unix machine that is responsible for a particular system task.

 

Daemon processes do not need human intervention to continue functioning.

DAP

Directory Access Protocol. The ISO X.500 standard protocol that provides client access to the

 

directory.

data master

The server that is the master source of a particular piece of data.

database link

An implementation of chaining. The database link behaves like a database but has no persistent

 

storage. Instead, it points to data stored remotely.

default index

One of a set of default indexes created per database instance. Default indexes can be modified,

 

although care should be taken before removing them, as certain plug-ins may depend on them.

definition entry

See CoS definition entry.

Directory Access

See DAP.

Protocol

 

Directory

The privileged database administrator, comparable to the root user in UNIX. Access control

Manager

does not apply to the Directory Manager.

directory service

A database application designed to manage descriptive, attribute-based information about

 

people and resources within an organization.

directory tree

The logical representation of the information stored in the directory. It mirrors the tree model

 

used by most filesystems, with the tree's root point appearing at the top of the hierarchy. Also

 

known as DIT.

distinguished

String representation of an entry's name and location in an LDAP directory.

name

 

DIT

See directory tree.

DM

See Directory Manager.

DN

See distinguished name.

DNS

Domain Name System. The system used by machines on a network to associate standard IP

 

addresses (such as 198.93.93.10) with host names (such as www.example.com). Machines

 

normally get the IP address for a host name from a DNS server, or they look it up in tables

 

maintained on their systems.

DNS alias

A DNS alias is a host name that the DNS server knows points to a different host specifically

 

a DNS CNAME record. Machines always have one real name, but they can have one or more

 

aliases. For example, an alias such as www.yourdomain.domain might point to a real machine

 

called realthing.yourdomain.domain where the server currently exists.

E

 

entry

A group of lines in the LDIF file that contains information about an object.

entry distribution

Method of distributing directory entries across more than one server in order to scale to support

 

large numbers of entries.

entry ID list

Each index that the directory uses is composed of a table of index keys and matching entry ID

 

lists. The entry ID list is used by the directory to build a list of candidate entries that may match

 

the client application's search request.

equality index

Allows you to search efficiently for entries containing a specific attribute value.

F

 

file extension

The section of a file name after the period or dot (.) that typically defines the type of file (for

 

example, .GIF and .HTML). In the file name index.html the file extension is html.
