NetWare Glossary
O
Directory Map Refers to a directory on a volume.
You cannot look at the file structure on the volume from the Directory Map
object, but login scripts can use the MAP command with a Directory Map
object to record the location of frequently used applications. If the
application moves, you change only the directory map; all login scripts
remain unchanged.
Group Assigns a name to a list of User objects in the Directory. That way you can
assign rights to the group instead of to each user—the rights transfer to
each user in the group.
NetWare Server Represents a server running any version of NetWare. The Network Address
property identifies the server’s location on the network. The NetWare
Server object is referred to in several other objects to specify where to find
items such as volumes.
Organizational Role Defines a position or role within an organization. Use the Organizational
Role object to specify a position that can be filled by different people, such
as Team Leader or Vice President.
Print Queue Represents a network print queue.
Print Server Represents a network print server.
Printer Represents a network printing device.
Profile Represents a login script used by a group of users who need to share
common login script commands but who are not necessarily located under
the same container in the Directory tree, or who are a subset of users in the
same container.
User Represents the people who use your network.
In the User object’s properties, you can store information about the user,
such as a telephone number, an address, or group membership. You can
also manage users by storing information about a user’s print job
configuration, account and password restrictions, or rights to files and
directories.
Unknown Represents a NetWare Directory Services object that has been corrupted
and can't be identified as belonging to any of the other object classes.
