bind	See bind DN.
distinguished
name
bind DN	Distinguished name used to authenticate to Directory Server when performing an operation.
bind rule	In the context of access control, the bind rule specifies the credentials and conditions that a
	particular user or client must satisfy in order to get access to directory information.
branch entry	An entry that represents the top of a subtree in the directory.
browser	Software, such as Mozilla Firefox, used to request and view World Wide Web material stored
	as HTML files. The browser uses the HTTP protocol to communicate with the host server.
browsing index	Speeds up the display of entries in the Directory Server Console. Browsing indexes can be
	created on any branch point in the directory tree to improve display performance.
	See also virtual list view index .
C
CA	See Certificate Authority.
cascading	In a cascading replication scenario, one server, often called the hub supplier, acts both as a
replication	consumer and a supplier for a particular replica. It holds a read-only replica and maintains a
	changelog. It receives updates from the supplier server that holds the master copy of the data
	and in turn supplies those updates to the consumer.
certificate	A collection of data that associates the public keys of a network user with their DN in the
	directory. The certificate is stored in the directory as user object attributes.
Certificate	Company or organization that sells and issues authentication certificates. You may purchase
Authority	an authentication certificate from a Certification Authority that you trust. Also known as a CA.
CGI	Common Gateway Interface. An interface for external programs to communicate with the HTTP
	server. Programs written to use CGI are called CGI programs or CGI scripts and can be written
	in many of the common programming languages. CGI programs handle forms or perform
	output parsing that is not done by the server itself.
chaining	A method for relaying requests to another server. Results for the request are collected, compiled,
	then returned to the client.
changelog	A changelog is a record that describes the modifications that have occurred on a replica. The
	supplier server then replays these modifications on the replicas stored on replica servers or on
	other masters, in the case of multi-master replication.
character type	Distinguishes alphabetic characters from numeric or other characters and the mapping of
	upper-case to lower-case letters.
ciphertext	Encrypted information that cannot be read by anyone without the proper key to decrypt the
	information.
class definition	Specifies the information needed to create an instance of a particular object and determines
	how the object works in relation to other objects in the directory.
class of service	See CoS.
classic CoS	A classic CoS identifies the template entry by both its DN and the value of one of the target
	entry's attributes.
client	See LDAP client.
code page	An internal table used by a locale in the context of the internationalization plug-in that the
	operating system uses to relate keyboard keys to character font screen displays.
collation order	Provides language and cultural-specific information about how the characters of a given
	language are to be sorted. This information might include the sequence of letters in the alphabet
	or how to compare letters with accents to letters without accents.
consumer	Server containing replicated directory trees or subtrees from a supplier server.
consumer server	In the context of replication, a server that holds a replica that is copied from a different server
	is called a consumer for that replica.
CoS	A method for sharing attributes between entries in a way that is invisible to applications.
