1.1 Ease of Management through Novell
iManager
Novell eDirectory allows for easy, powerful, and flexible management of network resources. It also
serves as a repository of user information for groupware and other applications. These applications
access your directory through the industry-standard Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP).
eDirectory ease-of-management features include a powerful tree structure, an integrated
management utility, and single login and authentication.
Novell iManager lets you manage the directory and users, and access rights and network resources
within the directory, from a Web browser and a variety of handheld devices. The eDirectory plug-ins
to iManager give you access to basic directory management tasks, and to the eDirectory
management utilities you previously had to run on the eDirectory server, such as DSRepair,
DSMerge, and Backup and Restore.
For more information, see the
Novell iManager 2.5 Administration Guide
(http://www.novell.com/
documentation/imanager25/index.html)
.
1.1.1 Powerful Tree Structure
Novell eDirectory organizes objects in a tree structure, beginning with the top Tree object, which
bears the tree's name.
Whether your eDirectory servers are running NetWare
®
, Linux*, UNIX*, or Windows*, all
resources can be kept in the same tree. You won’t need to access a specific server or domain to
create objects, grant rights, change passwords, or manage applications.
The hierarchical structure of the tree gives you great management flexibility and power. These
benefits primarily result from the following two features:
•
“Container Objects” on page 20
•
“Inheritance” on page 21
Container Objects
Container objects allow you to manage other objects in sets, rather than individually. There are three
common classes of container objects, as seen in
Figure 1-2
