Leaf object Description
Alias
Points to the original location of an object in the Directory. Aliases can
make NetWare Directory Services easier to use. Any Directory object
located in one place in the Directory can also appear to be in another place
in the Directory by using aliases.
When you create an alias, name it in a way that you can recognize it as an
alias. The name is the only way you can recognize it as an alias once it is
created.
When you add aliases to a list—for example, to add an alias of a user to a
group, the name of the User object appears in the list, not the alias that points
to the user.
To access the alias and the properties of the object it refers to, you need the
Read right to the alias name and the Read right to the properties of the object
it refers to.
You can set an option in NETADMIN to see the alias as a reference to
another object, and then assign rights or modify the properties of the actual
object.
If you don’t set the option to see aliases as references, you cannot work with
the properties or rights of the object the alias refers to.
Bindery Represents an object placed in the Directory tree by an upgrade or
migration utility, but that NetWare Directory Services can’t identify. This
object provides backward compatibility for bindery-oriented utilities.
Bindery Queue Represents a queue placed in the Directory tree by an upgrade or migration
utility, but that NetWare Directory Services can't identify. This object
provides backward compatibility for bindery-oriented utilities.
Computer Represents a computer on the network.
In the Computer object’s properties, you can store information such as the
computer’s serial number or the person the computer is assigned to.
