HP-UX Directory Server Administrator Guide HP-UX Directory Server Version 8.1 (5900-3098, May 2013)

LDAP URL Provides the means of locating Directory Servers using DNS then completing the query via LDAP.
A sample LDAP URL is ldap://ldap.example.com.
LDAPv3 Version 3 of the LDAP protocol, upon which Directory Server bases its schema format.
LDBM database A high-performance, disk-based database consisting of a set of large files that contain all the
data assigned to it. The primary data store in Directory Server.
LDIF LDAP Data Interchange Format. Format used to represent Directory Server entries in text form.
leaf entry An entry under which there are no other entries. A leaf entry cannot be a branch point in a
directory tree.
Lightweight
Directory Access
Protocol
See LDAP.
locale Identifies the collation order, character type, monetary format and time / date format used to
present data for users of a specific region, culture, and/or custom. This includes information on
how data of a given language is interpreted, stored, or collated. The locale also indicates which
code page should be used to represent a given language.
M
managed object A standard value which the SNMP agent can access and send to the NMS. Each managed object
is identified with an official name and a numeric identifier expressed in dot-notation.
managed role Allows creation of an explicit enumerated list of members.
management
information base
See MIB.
mapping tree A data structure that associates the names of suffixes (subtrees) with databases.
master See supplier.
master agent See SNMP master agent.
matching rule Provides guidelines for how the server compares strings during a search operation. In an
international search, the matching rule tells the server what collation order and operator to use.
MD5 A message digest algorithm by RSA Data Security, Inc., which can be used to produce a short
digest of data that is unique with high probability and is mathematically extremely hard to produce;
a piece of data that will produce the same message digest.
MD5 signature A message digest produced by the MD5 algorithm.
MIB Management Information Base. All data, or any portion thereof, associated with the SNMP
network. We can think of the MIB as a database which contains the definitions of all SNMP
managed objects. The MIB has a tree-like hierarchy, where the top level contains the most general
information about the network and lower levels deal with specific, separate network areas.
MIB namespace Management Information Base namespace. The means for directory data to be named and
referenced. Also called the directory tree.
monetary format Specifies the monetary symbol used by specific region, whether the symbol goes before or after
its value, and how monetary units are represented.
multi-master
replication
An advanced replication scenario in which two servers each hold a copy of the same read-write
replica. Each server maintains a changelog for the replica. Modifications made on one server
are automatically replicated to the other server. In case of conflict, a time stamp is used to
determine which server holds the most recent version.
multiplexor The server containing the database link that communicates with the remote server.
N
n + 1 directory
problem
The problem of managing multiple instances of the same information in different directories,
resulting in increased hardware and personnel costs.
name collisions Multiple entries with the same distinguished name.
nested role Allows the creation of roles that contain other roles.
