1993 edition of Extended Information Models.
This indexed database supports high-
performance searching and sophisticated
matching including approximate (Soundex)
match. The database is held in main memory
to ensure optimal response times.
Support for NCL Service Management
The OpenVMS Enterprise Directory provides
DSA management conforming to the
Enterprise Management Architecture (EMA),
integrated with DECnet-Plus. This provides
remote management facilities to configure and
control DSAs, and to log significant events.
Programming Interface
Application access to the OpenVMS
Enterprise Directory is provided through the
X/Open Company Limited's OSI-Abstract-
Data Manipulation API and API to Directory
Services, also known as the XDS/XOM
Application Program Interface.
Documentation, useful libraries and supporting
files for the API are included with the
OpenVMS Enterprise Directory.
The OpenVMS Enterprise Directory includes a
base component that contains the DUA
libraries and other supporting files necessary to
support applications written to the directory
API. This base component, therefore, provides
run-time client access to the API libraries; it is
distributed with the OpenVMS Enterprise
Directory product.
HP Administrator for Enterprise Directory
V2.2
Description
The HP Administrator for Enterprise Directory
(HP AED) is a Graphical User Interface
designed to enable system managers and
administrators to easily manage multiple
Enterprise Directory servers using LDAPv3
commands. The HP AED provides multiple
views of a directory network, visually
depicting associations and dependencies.
The HP AED provides full DSA Management,
replacing NCL commands when an OSI
Transport is not present and can be configured
to run over pure TCP/IP even when an OSI
transport is present.
The HP AED is written as a Java application
designed to run on any platform that supports
the Java2 Runtime Environment (JRE) V1.5 or
later. JRE V1.5 is supplied with the kit.
The “Look-and-Feel” of the HP AED is that of
the Sun Metal look and feel chosen because of
its multi-platform support and minimal
software dependency on the host platforms.
All communication with Enterprise Directory
servers is via LDAP over an IP network
allowing management of multiple directories
from a single HP AED. The HP AED takes full
advantage of features within the Enterprise
Directory V5.6 to maximize manageability.
All management operations performed by the
HP AED are subject to checking by Enterprise
Directory, that prevents the user inadvertently
modifying a DSA in such a way that it is left in
an inconsistent state.
Functionality Supported
The HP AED allows an administrator to
connect simultaneously to an arbitrary number
of Enterprise Directories - subject to suitable
authentication - and provide a view of the DSA
that highlights and allows manipulation of the
following entities:
• Naming Contexts
 Display and highlight existing naming
contexts
 Create new naming contexts
 Remove existing naming contexts
• Superior References
 Display an existing Superior
Reference
 Create a new Superior Reference
 Modify or delete an existing Superior
Reference
• Subordinate References

references
 Create new subordinate references
 Modify or delete existing subordinate
references
• Replication

information
