LDAP client | Software used to request and view LDAP entries from an LDAP Directory Server. |
| See also browser. |
LDAP Data | See LDAP Data Interchange Format. |

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 |
| 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. |

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 |
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 |
| 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. |
An advanced replication scenario in which two servers each hold a copy of the same | |
replication | replica. Each server maintains a changelog for the replica. Modifications made on one server |
