	checking is on by default, and users will receive an error if they try to save an entry that does
	not conform to the schema.

Layer
self access	When granted, indicates that users have access to their own entries if the bind DN matches the
	targeted entry.
Server Console	Java-based application that allows you to perform administrative management of your Directory
	Server from a GUI.
server daemon	The server daemon is a process that, once running, listens for and accepts requests from clients.
Server Selector	Interface that allows you select and configure servers using a browser.
