L
LDAP	Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. Directory service protocol designed to run over TCP/IP
	and across multiple platforms.
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.
Interchange
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 high-performance, disk-based database consisting of a set of large files that contain all the
	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.
Lightweight	See LDAP.
Directory Access
Protocol
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 dot-notation.
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 tree-like hierarchy, where the top level contains the most
	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.
multi-master	An advanced replication scenario in which two servers each hold a copy of the same read-write
replication	replica. Each server maintains a changelog for the replica. Modifications made on one server
