• Server Container
Workstation (
scWorkstation
)
The Workstation object stores information for a specific Point of Service terminal.
Using information from the Hardware Reference object (
scCashRegister
) and
Image Reference object (
scPosImage
),
posldap2crconfig.pl
automati-
cally creates a Workstation object in the LDAP directory for every Point of Service
terminal that registers on the Branch Server. For information on this process, see
Section 7.7.3, “The hwtype.
MAC
File” (page 100).
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).
The next level is represented by:
• Branch Server
Branch Server (
scBranchServer
)
The Branch Server object stores configuration information that is specific to each
Branch Server. There must be a Branch Server object for every Branch Server in
the SUSE Linux Enterprise Point of Service system.
IMPORTANT: Defining the Branch Server Hostname
The location of the
scBranchServer
object in the LDAP directory must
correspond to the hostname defined for the Admin/Branch Server during
installation. For example, if the hostname is
bs.east.boston.mycorp.us
, the DN of the
scBranchServer
object
would be
cn=bs,cn=server,cn=east,ou=boston,o=mycorp,c=us
.
You must create the
scBranchServer
object and its supporting organi-
zational structure before you can run
posInitBranchserver.sh
and
deploy the Branch Server. . For information on creating the Branch Server
objects, see Section 6.4, “Creating Branch Server Objects in LDAP” (page 55).
