a directory.

C |
|---|
| Configuration profile | | An entry in an LDAP directory containing information common
to many clients, that allows clients to access user, group and other
information in the directory. Clients download the profile from
the directory. See also See also Client Configuration File..

G |
|---|
| Global Catalog Server (GCS) | | This refers to the domain controller, which hosts
the global catalog for a forest. The global catalog contains partial
information of each domain. LDAP-UX utilizes this feature to find
out which domain a queried data belongs to. The root domain is the
default GCS.

| KDC | | Key Distribution Center. A computer that issues
the session key necessary for the client and server to communicate
in a Kerberos environment.

| Kerberos | | An authentication protocol designed for open, hostile
networks. Developed by MIT.

| LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) | | The format used to represent directory server entries
in text form.

| Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) | | A standard, extensible set of conventions specifying
communication between clients and servers across TCP/IP network
connections. See also See also SLAPD..
|
|---|
| Local Domain | | This refers to the domain that you first configure
using the LDAP-UX setup tool and after choosing Windows 2000 ADS
as your directory server. This is also the only domain you configure
if you just choose a single domain in which to store your POSIX
information. When LDAP-UX retrieves POSIX information, the local domain
is always the first domain searched. If the entry is found in the
local domain, searching stops, therefore, the local domain will
be the primary domain in which you store frequently accessed information.
Its profile configuration is /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapux_profile.bin

M |
|---|
| Multiple Domains | | The supported multiple domains refer to domains
in an ADS forest. Domains from different forests are not supported.
|

N |
|---|
| Name Service Switch (NSS) | | A framework that allows a host to get name information
from various sources such as local files in /etc, NIS, NIS+, or
an LDAP directory without modifying applications. See switch(4)
for more information.
|
|---|
| Network Information Service (NIS) | | A distributed database system providing centralized
management of common configuration files, such as /etc/passwd and /etc/hosts.

| Pluggable Authentication Mechanism (PAM) | | A framework that allows different authentication
service modules to be made available without modifying applications. See pam_ldap(5), pam(3),
and pam.conf(4) for more information.

| Profile | | See See Configuration profile.
|
|---|
R |
|---|
| Remote Domains | | All domains in the forest, other than the local
domain, are referred to as remote domains. When you choose multiple
domain support during setup, you will be guided to configure profiles
for remote domains. When LDAP-UX cannot find data from the local domain,
remote domains will be searched.
