information that does not match the schema is stored in the directory, clients attempting to

 

access the directory may be unable to display the proper results.

schema checking

Ensures that entries added or modified in the directory conform to the defined schema. Schema

 

checking is on by default, and users will receive an error if they try to save an entry that does

 

not conform to the schema.

Secure Sockets

See SSL.

Layer

 

self access

When granted, indicates that users have access to their own entries if the bind DN matches the

 

targeted entry.

Server Console

Java-based application that allows you to perform administrative management of your Directory

 

Server from a GUI.

server daemon

The server daemon is a process that, once running, listens for and accepts requests from clients.

Server Selector

Interface that allows you select and configure servers using a browser.

server service

A process on Windows that, once running, listens for and accepts requests from clients. It is

 

the SMB server on Windows NT.

service

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

Simple Network

See SNMP.

Management

 

Protocol

 

single-master

The most basic replication scenario in which multiple servers, up to four, each hold a copy of

replication

the same read-write replicas to replica servers. In a single-master replication scenario, the

 

supplier server maintains a changelog.

SIR

See supplier-initiated replication.

slapd

LDAP Directory Server daemon or service that is responsible for most functions of a directory

 

except replication.

 

See also ns-slapd.

SNMP

Used to monitor and manage application processes running on the servers by exchanging data

 

about network activity. Also Simple Network Management Protocol.

SNMP master

Software that exchanges information between the various subagents and the NMS.

agent

 

SNMP subagent

Software that gathers information about the managed device and passes the information to the

 

master agent. Also called a subagent.

SSL

A software library establishing a secure connection between two parties (client and server)

 

used to implement HTTPS, the secure version of HTTP. Also called Secure Sockets Layer.

standard index

index maintained by default.

sub suffix

A branch underneath a root suffix.

subagent

See SNMP subagent.

substring index

Allows for efficient searching against substrings within entries. Substring indexes are limited

 

to a minimum of two characters for each entry.

suffix

The name of the entry at the top of the directory tree, below which data is stored. Multiple

 

suffixes are possible within the same directory. Each database only has one suffix.
