cascading replication In a cascading replication scenario, one server, often called the
hub supplier, acts both as a consumer and a supplier for a
particular replica. It holds a read-only replica and maintains a
changelog. It receives updates from the supplier server that
holds the master copy of the data and in turn supplies those
updates to the consumer.
certificate A collection of data that associates the public keys of a network
user with their DN in the directory. The certificate is stored in
the directory as user object attributes.
Certificate Authority Company or organization that sells and issues authentication
certificates. You may purchase an authentication certificate
from a Certification Authority that you trust. Also known as a
CA.
CGI Common Gateway Interface. An interface for external
programs to communicate with the HTTP server. Programs
written to use CGI are called CGI programs or CGI scripts and
can be written in many of the common programming
languages. CGI programs handle forms or perform output
parsing that is not done by the server itself.
chaining A method for relaying requests to another server. Results for
the request are collected, compiled, and then returned to the
client.
changelog A changelog is a record that describes the modifications that
have occurred on a replica. The supplier server then replays
these modifications on the replicas stored on replica servers or
on other masters, in the case of multi-master replication.
character type Distinguishes alphabetic characters from numeric or other
characters and the mapping of upper-case to lower-case
