Description

HP OpenVMS Enterprise Directory V5.6 SPD 81.03.05

and HP Administrator for Enterprise Directory V2.2

Description

The HP OpenVMS Enterprise Directory V5.6

is the fourth release of Enterprise Directory

available on the HP Integrity Server Family of

Intel® Itanium® based systems, sharing a

common code base with the OpenVMS

AlphaServer version.

V5.6 adds support for:

• The Draft Behera password policy to

ensure secure read and update access

to directory information throughout

the network. User password hashing

is also incorporated, where ‘user’ is

any LDAP client application that has

an identity in the directory.

• SAMBA Schema 3.0

• Memory tracing facility for faster

diagnostics of the DSA.

The product continues to conform to the

ITU-T X.500 Recommendations. These

recommendations split the functions of the

directory between one or more Directory

System Agents (DSA), where all information

is held and one or more Directory User Agents

(DUA), from which all enquiries and other

directory actions are made.

Using the X.500 model, departments and

organizations may adopt an incremental

independent approach to the establishment of a

directory service using, if required,

conforming products from multiple vendors.

These separate implementations may then be

connected together to provide a single logical

directory service that spans the department, the

organization, the region or the world, as

appropriate. The Directory may contain

information on anything of interest, typically

people, authentication credentials and

certificates (such as PKI) systems, network

resources and may be accessed both by

individual users and applications.

V5.6 includes an extended management client

known as the hp Administrator for Enterprise

Directory (HP AED) V2.2, which is described

within this document.

The OpenVMS Enterprise Directory product

set includes:

• OpenVMS Enterprise Directory

Server - a Directory System Agent

• Lightweight Directory Access

Protocol version 3 (LDAPv3) support

• Full management of the DSA from

the hp Administrator for Enterprise

Directory (HP AED) for Windows

clients, eliminating the need for NCL

commands

• An NCL emulator for those customers

that must continue using NCL

commands, perhaps in NCL scripts,

but no longer wishing to configure

DECnet-Plus

• Use of an LDAP port number for

operation with an RFC1006

Presentation Address over a TCP/IP

network without DECnet-Plus being

present

• IPv6 Internet Protocol Version 6

(IPv6) to a distributed network

directory service over a pure TCP/IP

environment without DECnet-Plus.

For those customers that wish to

continue to deploy over an OSI

transport, this capability is fully

retained

• SAMBA Schema V3.0: Applications

that require Samba Schema support

can create entries in the directory

using these schema elements
