Setting Up and Managing NetWare Directory Services Objects
Creating Leaf Objects
are considered to be identical names.
• You can use both spaces and underscores, but they are both considered spaces.
Therefore, “Manager_Profile” and “Manager Profile” are considered to be
identical names.
If you use a space in a name, you must place quotation marks around that text
string whenever you use a command line utility that includes that text string.
NOTE: If you anticipate managing objects created from different code pages, you must limit
object names and properties to those characters common to all the applicable code
tables.
Nondisplayable Unicode characters for your code page are represented by an ASCII
3 character (a “heart” symbol). For more information, see “Unicode” in Concepts.
Object Name Restrictions for Bindery Services
When you create objects to be accessed from a client running a version of
NetWare earlier than NetWare 4, the names of the objects must follow
bindery naming rules or else the pre-NetWare 4 client does not recognize
them. Object names in bindery services are interpreted as the following:
• Spaces in object names are replaced by underscores.
• Object names longer than 47 characters are cut off after the 47th character.
You cannot use the following characters in an object name that must be
accessed from a client running a version of NetWare earlier than NetWare 4:
/ slash
\ backslash
: colon
, comma
* asterisk
? question mark
