Creating a Standards Document for NDS Object Classes and Properties

Overview

This appendix provides you with guidelines and samples for creating a

standards document for objects in a NetWare® Directory Services™ (NDS)

database.

The following topics are discussed on the indicated pages:

Using a consistent naming standard makes current and future

implementation of NDS™ easier and more efﬁcient. A naming standard

helps ensure that the Directory objects you create are intuitive and useful to

users and groups on your network.

An effective naming standard document includes a list of objects to be

implemented, the format of each property value, and the intended use of

each property.

There is no preset naming standard. Different organizations can adopt

different naming standards based on both their requirements and their

existing conﬁgurations.

The naming standard in this appendix is offered as an example that works

well for any organization, regardless of size, but that can be modiﬁed and

adjusted to better meet the requirements of individual organizations.
