CoS definition	Identifies the type of CoS you are using. It is stored as an LDAP subentry below the branch it
entry	affects.
CoS template	Contains a list of the shared attribute values.
entry	See also template entry.
D
daemon	A background process on a Unix machine that is responsible for a particular system task.
	Daemon processes do not need human intervention to continue functioning.
DAP	Directory Access Protocol. The ISO X.500 standard protocol that provides client access to the
	directory.
data master	The server that is the master source of a particular piece of data.
database link	An implementation of chaining. The database link behaves like a database but has no persistent
	storage. Instead, it points to data stored remotely.
default index	One of a set of default indexes created per database instance. Default indexes can be modified,
	although care should be taken before removing them, as certain plug-ins may depend on them.
definition entry	See CoS definition entry.
Directory Access	See DAP.
Protocol
Directory	The privileged database administrator, comparable to the root user in UNIX. Access control
Manager	does not apply to the Directory Manager.
directory service	A database application designed to manage descriptive, attribute-based information about
	people and resources within an organization.
directory tree	The logical representation of the information stored in the directory. It mirrors the tree model
	used by most filesystems, with the tree's root point appearing at the top of the hierarchy. Also
	known as DIT.
distinguished	String representation of an entry's name and location in an LDAP directory.
name
DIT	See directory tree.
DM	See Directory Manager.
DN	See distinguished name.
DNS	Domain Name System. The system used by machines on a network to associate standard IP
	addresses (such as 198.93.93.10) with host names (such as www.example.com). Machines
	normally get the IP address for a host name from a DNS server, or they look it up in tables
	maintained on their systems.
DNS alias	A DNS alias is a host name that the DNS server knows points to a different host specifically a
	DNS CNAME record. Machines always have one real name, but they can have one or more
	aliases. For example, an alias such as www.yourdomain.domain might point to a real machine
	called realthing.yourdomain.domain where the server currently exists.
E
entry	A group of lines in the LDIF file that contains information about an object.
entry distribution	Method of distributing directory entries across more than one server in order to scale to support
	large numbers of entries.
entry ID list	Each index that the directory uses is composed of a table of index keys and matching entry ID
	lists. The entry ID list is used by the directory to build a list of candidate entries that may match
	the client application's search request.
equality index	Allows you to search efficiently for entries containing a specific attribute value.
F
file extension	The section of a file name after the period or dot (.) that typically defines the type of file (for
	example, .GIF and .HTML). In the file name index.html the file extension is html.
