Objects
• The name must be unique in the container. For example, Debra Jones and Daniel Jones cannot
both be named DJONES if they are in the same container.
• Special characters are allowed. However, plus signs (+), equals signs (=), and periods (.) must
be preceded by a backslash (\) if used. Additional naming conventions apply to Server and
Country objects, as well as to bindery services and multilingual environments.
• Uppercase and lowercase letters, as well as underscores and spaces, are displayed as you first
entered them, but they aren’t distinguished. For example, Manager_Profile and MANAGER
PROFILE are considered identical.
• If you use spaces, you must enclose the name in quotes when entering it on the command line
or in login scripts.
Server Objects
• Server objects are automatically created when you install new servers.
• You can create additional Server objects for existing NetWare
®
and Windows servers and for
eDirectory servers in other trees, but they are all treated as bindery objects.
• When creating a Server object, the name must match the physical server name, which
• Is unique in the entire network.
• Is from 2 to 47 characters long.
• Contains only letters A-Z, numbers 0-9, hyphens (-), periods (.), and underscores (_).
• Does not use a period as the first character.
• Once named, the Server object cannot be renamed in Novell iManager. If you rename it at the
server, the new name automatically appears in iManager.
Country Objects
Country objects should follow the standard two-letter ISO country code.
For more information, see the
ISO 3166 Code Lists (http://www.iso.ch/iso/en/prods-services/
iso3166ma/02iso-3166-code-lists/list-en1.html)
.
Bindery Objects
If the object is accessed from NetWare 2 or NetWare 3 through bindery services, the following
restrictions apply:
• Spaces in the name are replaced with underscores
• Names are truncated to 47 characters
• The following characters are not allowed: slash (/), backslash (\), colon (:), comma (,), asterisk
(*), and question mark (?)
IMPORTANT:
Bindery emulation is not supported on Linux, Solaris, AIX, or HP-UX platforms.
