HP TRU64 UNIX Enterprise Directory V5.6

HP Tru64 UNIX Enterprise Directory V5.6
 1993-2007 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. 4 November, 2007
Support for NCL Service Management
The Tru64 UNIX Enterprise Directory
provides DSA management conforming to the
Enterprise Management Architecture (EMA),
integrated with DECnet-Plus. This provides
remote management facilities to configure and
control DSAs, and to log significant events.
Programming Interface
Application access to the Tru64 UNIX
Enterprise Directory is provided through the
X/Open Company Limited's OSI-Abstract-
Data Manipulation API and API to Directory
Services, also known as the XDS/XOM
Application Program Interface.
Documentation, useful libraries and supporting
files for the API are included with the Tru64
UNIX Enterprise Directory.
The Tru64 UNIX Enterprise Directory
includes a base component that contains the
DUA libraries and other supporting files
necessary to support applications written to the
directory API. This base component, therefore,
provides run-time client access to the API
libraries; it is distributed with the Tru64 UNIX
Enterprise Directory product.
Compaq Administrator for Enterprise
Directory V2.2
Description
The HP Administrator for Enterprise Directory
(HP AED) is a Graphical User Interface
designed to enable system managers and
administrators to easily manage multiple
Enterprise Directory servers. The HP AED
provides multiple views of a directory
network, visually depicting associations and
dependencies.
The HP AED provides full DSA Management,
replacing NCL commands when an OSI
Transport is not present and can be configured
to run over pure TCP/IP even when an OSI
transport is present.
The HP AED is written as a Java application
designed to run on any platform that supports
the Java2 Runtime Environment (JRE) V1.5 or
later. JRE V1.5 is supplied with the kit
.
The “Look-and-Feel” of the CAED is that of
the Sun Metal look and feel chosen because of
its multi-platform support and minimal
software dependency on the host platforms.
All communication with Enterprise Directory
servers is via LDAP over an IP network
allowing management of multiple directories
from a single HP AED. The HP AED takes full
advantage of features within the Enterprise
Directory V5.6 to maximise manageability.
All management operations performed by the
HP AED are subject to checking by Enterprise
Directory, which prevents the user
inadvertently modifying a DSA in such a way
that it is left in an inconsistent state.
Functionality Supported
The HP AED allows an administrator to
connect simultaneously to an arbitrary number
of Enterprise Directories - subject to suitable
authentication - and provide a view of the DSA
which highlights and allows manipulation of
the following entities:
x Naming Contexts
 Display and highlight existing naming
contexts
 Create new naming contexts
 Remove existing naming contexts
x Superior References
 Display an existing Superior
Reference
 Create a new Superior Reference
 Modify or delete an existing Superior
Reference
x Subordinate References
 Display existing subordinate
references
 Create new subordinate references
 Modify or delete existing subordinate
references
x Replication
 Display existing replication
information
 Create new replication agreements
 Modify or delete existing replication
agreements
For operations that involve multiple DSAs
e.g. setting up a subordinate reference, the HP
AED makes checks on all DSAs involved
before proceeding, and will issue appropriate
