10.3.12 scRefObjectContainer
Global
(scRefObjectContainer, cn=global): All globally valid information for a chain
or company—that is server hardware, Point of Service hardware, or client images—is
stored in the Global container of class
scRefObjectContainer
in the form of
reference objects. These reference objects are linked to the actual entries for the Point
of Service terminals and servers in the branches using unique names.
The initial LDAP structure after installation includes only one
scRefObjectContainer
named
global
under the directory root. Other
scRefObjectContainer
objects can be added as needed; however, the
scRefObjectContainer
container objects should always have
cn=global
and
also appear only once per directory level. This provides great flexibility. For example,
each server can be assigned by its own reference objects and, therefore, its own hardware
types. On the other hand, if all the servers have the same hardware, a unified standard
can be defined in the global container on the regional or organizational level.

10.3.13 scServerContainer
Server container
Server Container
(scServerContainer): A container for all the Branch Server
objects for a given site. The information pertaining to the Branch Servers is stored in
the Server container.
To provide system redundancy and failover, there can be multiple Branch Servers for
each site.
For information on adding this object class to the LDAP directory, see Section 6.4.3,
“Adding an
scServerContainer
and
scBranchServer
Object” (page 60).
