access control instruction

See ACI.

ACI

An instruction that grants or denies permissions to entries in

 

the directory.

 

See Also access control instruction.

access control list

See ACL.

ACL

The mechanism for controlling access to your directory.

 

See Also access control list.

access rights

In the context of access control, specify the level of access

 

granted or denied. Access rights are related to the type of

 

operation that can be performed on the directory. The following

 

rights can be granted or denied: read, write, add, delete,

 

search, compare, selfwrite, proxy and all.

account inactivation

Disables a user account, group of accounts, or an entire

 

domain so that all authentication attempts are automatically

 

rejected.

All IDs Threshold

Replaced with the ID list scan limit in Directory Server version

 

7.1. A size limit which is globally applied to every index key

 

managed by the server. When the size of an individual ID list

 

reaches this limit, the server replaces that ID list with an All IDs

 

token.

 

See Also ID list scan limit.

All IDs token

A mechanism which causes the server to assume that all

 

directory entries match the index key. In effect, the All IDs

 

token causes the server to behave as if no index was available

 

for the search request.

anonymous access

When granted, allows anyone to access directory information

 

without providing credentials, and regardless of the conditions

 

of the bind.

approximate index

Allows for efficient approximate or "sounds-like" searches.

attribute

Holds descriptive information about an entry. Attributes have a

 

label and a value. Each attribute also follows a standard syntax

 

for the type of information that can be stored as the attribute
