called a supplier for that replica.

supplier-initiated

Replication configuration where supplier servers replicate directory data to any replica servers.

replication

 

symmetric

Encryption that uses the same key for both encrypting and decrypting. DES is an example of

encryption

a symmetric encryption algorithm.

system index

Cannot be deleted or modified as it is essential to Directory Server operations.

T

 

target

In the context of access control, the target identifies the directory information to which a

 

particular ACI applies.

target entry

The entries within the scope of a CoS.

TCP/IP

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The main network protocol for the Internet

 

and for enterprise (company) networks.

template entry

See CoS template entry.

time/date format

Indicates the customary formatting for times and dates in a specific region.

TLS

The new standard for secure socket layers; a public key based protocol. Also Transport Layer

 

Security.

one another.

Transport Layer

See TLS.

Security

 

U

 

uid

A unique number associated with each user on a Unix system.

URL

Uniform Resource Locater. The addressing system used by the server and the client to request

 

documents. It is often called a location. The format of a URL is

 

protocol://machine:port/document. The port number is necessary only on selected

 

servers, and it is often assigned by the server, freeing the user of having to place it in the URL.

V

 

virtual list view

Speeds up the display of entries in the Directory Server Console. Virtual list view indexes can

index

be created on any branch point in the directory tree to improve display performance.

 

See also browsing index.
