See also browser.

LDAP Data

See LDAP Data Interchange Format.

Interchange

 

Format

 

LDAP URL

Provides the means of locating Directory Servers using DNS, then completing the query through

 

LDAP. A sample LDAP URL is ldap://ldap.example.com.

LDAPv3

Version 3 of the LDAP protocol, upon which Directory Server bases its schema format.

LDBM database

A high-performance, disk-based database consisting of a set of large files that contain all the

 

data assigned to it. The primary data store in Directory Server.

LDIF

LDAP Data Interchange Format. Format used to represent Directory Server entries in text form.

leaf entry

An entry under which there are no other entries. A leaf entry cannot be a branch point in a

 

directory tree.

Lightweight

See LDAP.

Directory Access

 

Protocol

 

locale

Identifies the collation order, character type, monetary format and time / date format used to

 

present data for users of a specific region, culture, and/or custom. This includes information

 

on how data of a given language is interpreted, stored, or collated. The locale also indicates

 

which code page should be used to represent a given language.

M

 

managed object

A standard value which the SNMP agent can access and send to the NMS. Each managed object

 

is identified with an official name and a numeric identifier expressed in dot-notation.

managed role

Allows creation of an explicit enumerated list of members.

management

See MIB.

information base

 

mapping tree

A data structure that associates the names of suffixes (subtrees) with databases.

master

See supplier.

master agent

See SNMP master agent.

matching rule

Provides guidelines for how the server compares strings during a search operation. In an

 

international search, the matching rule tells the server what collation order and operator to use.

MD5

A message digest algorithm by RSA Data Security, Inc., which can be used to produce a short

 

digest of data that is unique with high probability and is mathematically extremely hard to

 

produce; a piece of data that will produce the same message digest.

MD5 signature

A message digest produced by the MD5 algorithm.

MIB

Management Information Base. All data, or any portion thereof, associated with the SNMP

 

network. We can think of the MIB as a database which contains the definitions of all SNMP

 

managed objects. The MIB has a tree-like hierarchy, where the top level contains the most

 

general information about the network and lower levels deal with specific, separate network

 

areas.

MIB namespace

Management Information Base namespace. The means for directory data to be named and

 

referenced. Also called the directory tree.

monetary format

Specifies the monetary symbol used by specific region, whether the symbol goes before or after

 

its value, and how monetary units are represented.

multi-master

An advanced replication scenario in which two servers each hold a copy of the same read-write

replication

replica. Each server maintains a changelog for the replica. Modifications made on one server
