| 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.

| 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 or 2003 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.

| 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.
