Setting Up and Managing NetWare Directory Services Objects
Creating Leaf Objects
External Entity Represents a non-native NDS object
that is imported into NDS or registered
in NDS.
NetWare MHS Services use external
entity objects to represent users from
non-NDS directories to provide an
integrated address book for sending
mail.
If your messaging environment
contains non-MHS servers, such as
SMTP hosts, SNADS nodes, or X.400
MTAs, you might choose to add users
and lists at these servers to your
NetWare database as External Entities.
Adding these objects to the database as
external entities adds them to the
address books of your messaging
applications. When addressing
messages, local users can choose non-
MHS users and lists from a directory
list.
Group Assigns a name to a group of User
objects that can be located anywhere
in the Directory tree.
Create a Group object when you have
many User objects that need the same
trustee assignments. Rather than
making many trustee assignments, you
make just one trustee assignment to a
Group object for all users who belong
to the group.
Message
Routing Group
Represents a group of messaging
servers that can transfer messages
directly with each other.
Create a Message Routing Group when
you have two or more messaging
servers that need to communicate with
each other.
