NDS : Java Glossary

NDS
NDS (Novell Directory Services). Novell’s scheme for creating corporate-wide disk directories running on a variety of hardware. Node are classified in the following ways: In the "[Root]" of each Tree there can exist only two container object types, "O" and "C" (it’s the start of the hierarchy). The "OU" or "C" types can exist within "O" types, and "OU" types can contain additional "OU" types for an even deeper structure. The "C" may contain "O" or "L" types, and an "L" type may contain additional "OU" or "L" types, and so on. Each of these containers, except for the "T" type, may contain "CN" types which represent users, groups, printers, servers, DNS (Domain Name Service) records, databases, software applications, security keys, profile objects, and a variety of many other object types. Even your login name for FTP (File Transfer Protocol) has this structure.
