NetWare Directory Services

G-1
Glossary
Access Control List (ACL) A list that
contains information about an object
describing which other objects can
access it. It is a property of every object
in the NetWare® Directory Services™
database. Trustees and the Inherited
Rights Filter are contained in the ACL.
Add Self property right (A) Grants a
trustee the right to add or remove itself as
a value of the property. This right is used
only for properties that contain object
names as values, such as lists of group
members or mailing lists.
ADMIN User object A User object
that is created at installation. It has the
Supervisor object right to all objects so
that it can be used to create the Directory
tree.
Alias object An object that points to
another object at a different location in
the Directory tree. Use it to see an object
that you need to use regularly but that is
not located in the context that you
normally work in.
All Properties option An option you
can choose in order to give a trustee
specific property rights to all properties
at once instead of assigning rights
individually to each property. While
property rights assigned individually to a
property cannot be inherited, rights
granted with the All Properties option
flow down the Directory tree to objects
below.
authentication A means of verifying
that a user is authorized to use the
network. Authentication works in
combination with Access Control to
provide network security.
base schema A set of defined object
classes.
See also “object classes”.
bindery A network database in
NetWare versions earlier than NetWare
4™. The bindery contains definitions for
entities such as users, groups, and
workgroups.
bindery context The container objects
where bindery services is set.
See also “context”.
bindery services A feature of NetWare
4 that allows bindery-based utilities and
clients to coexist with NetWare
Directory Services on the network, using
a subset of the Directory tree as if it were
a bindery.
Bindery object An object that was
upgraded from a bindery-based server,
but that cannot be identified. Bindery-
based clients must use older NetWare
utilities to access these objects through
bindery emulation.
branch A container object and all the
objects it holds, which can include other
container objects.
Browse object right (B) Grants the
right to see the object in the Directory
tree. The name of the object is returned
when a search is made that matches the
object.
