Red Hat Directory Server for HP-UX
HP provides an industry-standard centralized directory service to build your intranet or
extranet on. Your Red Hat servers and other directory-enabled applications use the
directory service as a common, network-accessible location for storing shared data, such
as user and group identification, server identification, and access control information. In
addition, the Red Hat Directory Server can be extended to support your entire enterprise
with a global directory service that provides centralized management of your
enterprise's resource information.
Red Hat Directory Server for HP-UX has been added to HP-UX 11i v1 starting with
version 7.1.
Red Hat Directory Server (RHDS) B.07.10.20 for HP-UX is available on HP-UX 11i v1
December release.
Summary of Change
Red Hat Directory Server for HP-UX has been added to HP-UX 11i v1 starting with
version 7.1.
Red Hat Directory Server B.07.10.20 for HP-UX is a fix release. It contains defect fixes in
addition to new features provided in Red Hat Directory Server B.07.10.00 for HP-UX.
These new features for security, memory and performance are as follows:
• Windows User Synchronization:
Directory Server 7.1 introduces Windows User Sync, which synchronizes changes in
groups, user entries, attributes, and passwords between Red Hat Directory Server
and Microsoft Active Directory and Windows NT4 Server in a process similar to
replication.
• Get Effective Right Control:
Directory Server 7.1 allows an LDAP client to request the access control permissions
set on each attribute within an entry, allowing administrators to find and control the
access rights set on an individual entry.
• Wide-Area Network Replication:
Directory Server 7.1 achieves much higher performance over high-delay network
paths by not waiting for acknowledgements before sending updates, allowing more
changes to be relayed more quickly.
