Netscape Directory Server for HP-UX
Hewlett-Packard provides an industry-standard centralized directory service to build
your intranet or extranet on. Your Netscape servers and other directory-enabled
applications use the directory service as a common, network-accessible location for
storing shared data, such as user and group identification, server identification, and
access control information. In addition, the Netscape Directory Server can be extended
to support your entire enterprise with a global directory service that provides centralized
management of all your enterprise's resource information.
Summary of Change
The Netscape Directory Server B.06.21.50 for HP-UX is a fix release of Netscape
Directory Server 6.21 from HP; it contains defect fixes in addition to new features
provided in version B.06.21. The following are new features for Netscape Directory
Server 6.21:
• Support for Four-Way Multi-Master Replication:
The Multi-Master Replication feature provides the ability to support four masters. It
supports a variety of deployment topologies. The expanded number of masters
provides higher availability.
• Support for Fine-Grained Password Policy:
The password policy feature provides the ability to support policies at the subtree
and user levels. The subtree-level password policy enables a hosting environment to
have different password policies for each hosted company rather than enforcing a
single policy for all the hosted companies. The user-level password policy enables
administrators to tailor policies for individual user.
• New Configuration Attributes
This release supports the following new configuration attributes:
—The nsslapd-conntablesize attribute
—The nsslapd-schema-ignore-trailing-spaces attribute

control rights on any given entry.
