Red Hat Directory Server for HP-UX
With Red Hat Directory Server for HP-UX, HP provides an industry-standard
centralized directory service on which you can build your intranet or extranet. Your Red
Hat 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, you can
extend the Red Hat Directory Server to support your entire enterprise with a global
directory service that provides centralized management of your enterprise resource
information.
Summary of Change
Red Hat Directory Server for HP-UX has been added to HP-UX 11i v2 starting with
version 7.1. Red Hat Directory Server for HP-UX B.07.10.10 is a 64-bit version of
Directory Server.
Red Hat Directory Server B.07.10.10 for HP-UX contains all features delivered with
version 7.0 (available with HP-UX 11i v1), as well as the following new features:
• Windows User Synchronization
This feature synchronizes changes in groups, user entries, attributes, and passwords
between Red Hat Directory Server and Microsoft Active Directory and Windows NT4
Server in a process similar to replication.
• Get Effective Rights Control
Directory Server 7.1 allows an LDAP client to request the access control permissions
set on each attribute within an entry, allowing administrators to find and control the
access rights set on an individual entry.
• Wide-Area Network Replication
Directory Server 7.1 achieves much higher performance over high-delay network
paths by not waiting for acknowledgements before sending updates, allowing more
changes to be relayed more quickly.
• Fractional Replication
Directory Server 7.1 introduces fractional replication, a way of replicating a
database without replicating all information in it. This feature allows an
administrator to select a set of attributes that will not be replicated.
• Password Change Extended Operation
This allows users to change their passwords using a suitable client, according to
industry standards.
• Filesystem Replica Initialization
Directory Server 7.1 adds the capability to initialize a replica using the database
files from the supplier server, avoiding the need to rebuild the consumer database,
and can be done at the speed of the raw network between the two servers by
transferring the files.
