Glossary

SOAP (Simple

Object Access

Protocol)

A lightweight XML-based protocol for exchange of information in a decentralized, distributed environment. SOAP consists of three parts: an envelope that defines a framework for describing what is in a message and how to process it, a set of encoding rules for expressing instances of application-defined datatypes, and a convention for representing remote procedure calls and responses.

SPML (Service	SPML is the open standard protocol for the integration and interoperation of service provisioning
Provisioning	requests.
Markup Language)
SSH(Secure Shell)	A program to log into another computer over a network, to execute commands in a remote machine,
	and to move files from one machine to another.
subtype (LDAP)	LDAPv3 defines a number of subtypes at this time two have been defined binary (in RFC 2251) and
	lang (in RFC 2596). subtypes may be used when referencing an attribute and qualify e.g.
	cn;lang-en-us=smith would perform a search using US english. The subtype does not affect the
	encoding since UTF-8 (used for cn) allows for all language types. lang subtypes are case insensitive.
suffix (LDAP)	Also known as root, base, is one of many terms used to describe the topmost entry in a DIT. The term
	is typically used because this entry is usually defined in the suffix parameter in a OpenLDAP's
	slapd.conf file. The Root DSE is a kind of super root. Suffix Naming.
system	The role-based administrative functions performed by a group of administrators.
administration
system	The role-based administrative functions performed by a group of administrators to configure system
configuration	performance.
System Health	The Monitoring & Report Viewer Dashboard that provides information about the health status of
Dashboard	associated ACS instances.
system operations	A set of operations that you must perform to effectively deploy and manage the ACS servers in your
	network.

T

TACACS	TACACS (Terminal Access Controller Access Control System) is an older Authentication protocol
	common to UNIX networks that allows a remote access server to forward a user's logon password to
	an authenticationServer to determine whether access can be allowed to a given system. TACACS is an
	Encryption protocol and therefore less secure than the later TACACS+ and Remote Authentication
	Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) protocols.

TACACS+ settings

TCP/IP

Used to configure TACACS+ runtime characteristics.

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is the basic communication language or protocol of the Internet. TCP/IP is a two-layer program. The higher layer, Transmission Control Protocol, manages the assembling of a message or file into smaller packets that are transmitted over the Internet and received by a TCP layer that reassembles the packets into the original message. The lower layer, Internet Protocol, handles the address part of each packet so that it gets to the right destination.
