HP Tru64 UNIX Enterprise Directory for eBusiness V5.6 SPD 81.04.05

and HP Administrator for Enterprise Directory V2.2

Description

The HP Tru64 UNIX® Enterprise Directory

for eBusiness V5.6 implements a distributed

network directory service over TCP/IP without

the need to install DECnet-Plus or OSI

transport in the environment. For those

customers that wish to continue to deploy over

an OSI transport, this capability is retained.

V5.6 adds support for:

x The Draft Behera password policy to

ensure secure read and update access

to directory information throughout

the network. User password hashing

is also incorporated, where ‘user’ is

any LDAP client application that has

an identity in the directory.

x SAMBA Schema 3.0

x Memory tracing facility for faster

diagnostics of the DSA.

The product continues to conform to the

ITU-T X.500 Recommendations. These

Recommendations split the functions of the

directory between one or more Directory

System Agents (DSA), where all information

is held and one or more Directory User Agents

(DUA), from which all enquiries and other

directory actions are made.

Using the X.500 model, departments and

organizations may adopt an incremental

independent approach to the establishment of a

directory service using, if required,

conforming products from multiple vendors.

These separate implementations may then be

connected together to provide a single logical

directory service that spans the department, the

organization, the region or the world, as

appropriate. The Directory may contain

information on anything of interest, typically

people, authentication credentials and

certificates (such as PKI) systems, network

resources and may be accessed both by

individual users and applications.

V5.6 includes an extended management client

known as the HP Administrator for Enterprise

Directory (HP AED) V2.2, which is described

within this document.

The Tru64 UNIX Enterprise Directory product

set includes:

 Tru64 UNIX Enterprise Directory Server -

a Directory System Agent

 Lightweight Directory Access Protocol

version 3 (LDAPv3) support

 Full management of the DSA from the HP

Administrator for Enterprise Directory

(HP AED) for Windows clients,

eliminating the need for NCL commands

 An NCL emulator for those customers that

must continue using NCL commands,

perhaps in NCL scripts, but no longer

wish to configure DECnet-Plus

 Use of an LDAP port number for

operation with an RFC1006 Presentation

Address over a TCP/IP network without

DECnet-Plus being present

 IPv6 Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) to

a distributed network directory service

over a pure TCP/IP environment without

DECnet-Plus. For those customers that

wish to continue to deploy over an OSI

transport, this capability is fully retained

 Tru64 Cluster support

 SAMBA Schema V3.0: Applications that

require Samba Schema support can create

entries in the directory using these schema

elements
