In ZENworks Server Management, a point-to-point link between routers with no IP address bound to interfaces on the two ends of the WAN link.

In ZENworks Desktop Management, an Environment security option that runs an application in the system space as the Windows System user instead of in the user space as the logged-in user, so that the user can run locally installed applications even if he or she has limited file system rights. The application's interface is displayed to the user and normal functionality is available.

user private groupPrimary group to which a user belongs; the user is the only member of that group.

uninterruptible power supplyA backup power unit that supplies power if commercial power fails. A UPS can be either online or offline. Some are battery powered; others include generators that can provide standby power indefinitely.

The process a NetWare server uses to ensure that an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is functioning properly.

Uniform Resource LocatorThe addressing system used in the World Wide Web and other Internet resources. The URL contains information about the method of access (http://, for example), the name of the host and domain (such as www.suse.de) to be accessed, and the path of any file or document (such as /company/index.html) to be accessed. The complete URL of this example is http://www.suse.de/company/index.html.

Uniform Resource NameOn the World Wide Web, a naming convention to identify a specific file; it is independent of the address.

A worldwide bulletin board system that can be accessed through the Internet or through many online services. The USENET contains more than 14,000 forums, called newsgroups, that cover every imaginable interest group. It is used daily by millions of people around the world.

Nterprise Branch Office appliance solution that automatically provides user access to servers for all users in the branch - including local and visiting employees and guests. User Access Provisioning uses the LDAP protocol to provide local access at the branch office. If a User object resides in the corporate tree, users automatically gain access to the branch office appliance when they log in using their eDirectory usernames and passwords. All rights and group assignments are also transferred to the local appliance.

A custom field in your user profile definition for saving specific data about your users.

An association between a user and one or more rules. If your application validates a pipeline that includes the user step and a binding exists between the current user and any rules, then those rules are fired.

A digital document attesting to the binding of a public key to a User object. Users have access to their own user certificates, which can be used for authentication, data encryption/decryption, digital signing, and secure e-mail. User certificates can be signed by a certificate authority based on Novell Directory Services (NDS) or by an external certificate authority.

A transport protocol in the Internet suite of protocols. UDP, like Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), uses IP for delivery; however, unlike TCP, UDP provides for exchange of datagrams without acknowledgement or guaranteed delivery.

In ZENworks Desktop Management, a policy that sets user-defined policies (from .adm files) for user objects. Only for Windows 2000/XP, this policy is an extension of extensible policies for Windows 2000/XP and Active Directory. This policy is contained in the User package.

A number that uniquely identifies a user to the system. It is the internal number associated with a user ID.

A type of login script that sets environments specific to a user. User login scripts are optional; if used, they execute after system and profile login scripts.

A protected memory space that has limited and carefully controlled access to the server operating system, so that modules running within the user space cannot abend the server. Also known as protected memory space.

1. A leaf object in the Novell Directory Services (NDS) tree that represents a person who uses the network. It contains information about the network user it represents, such as login name, telephone number, address, and group membership.2. A login script type that sets the environment for a single user. It is a property of the User object. This fulfills a user's individual network setup needs, such as mapping to a specific working directory or connecting to a printer. This login script executes last. When a user is created (User object), this login script automatically sets up mappings to the user's home directory and to the PUBLIC directory on the server.

A User object created at installation in the Novell Directory Services (NDS) tree. It is automatically assigned the Supervisor (S) right to all objects in the NDS tree.

In ZENworks Desktop Management, a policy package which, by default, contains the following policies:

• Dynamic Local User policy
• Novell iPrint policy
• Remote Control policy
• Scheduled Action policy
• User Extensible policy
• Windows Desktop Preferences policy
• Windows Group policy
• Windows Terminal Server policy

Primary group to which a user belongs; the user is the only member of that group.

A mechanism for storing information about an individual user or group of users. Typically, sites collect and store two types of information:

• Personal information provided by the users themselves, such as account registration and preferences
• Tracking information such as pages viewed or items purchased

For each user, the profile consists of values for a set of predefined fields plus values of custom user attributes.

Allows you to save information about users in user profiles. When a user has logged in to your exteNd Director application, you can save and update information about the user and the user's usage patterns. User profiles are stored in a database deployed with your application. Typically, user profiles contain two types of information:

• Data that users provide, such as an e-mail address or a zip code
• Data you collect about their actions, such as how many times they purchase a particular item or view a particular page

.

A file containing default information that applies to new User objects to give them default property values. This helps the network administrator create many User objects that need the same property values.

In ZENworks Desktop Management, an application to which a user has been given access by associating the Application object with the User object in eDirectory.

A description of how a router connects and accesses frame relay network services.

Mechanism for identifying users on the system. The userID uniquely identifies a user to the system. In NetWare, the user's NDS Object ID is used (a 128-bit value); in other operating systems, different IDs are used. The userID uniquely identifies a user to the system.

Universal Time CoordinatedThe international time standard (formerly Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT). Zero hours UTC is midnight in Greenwich , England , which is located at 0 degrees longitude. Everything east of Greenwich (up to 180 degrees) is later in time; everything west is earlier. There are 42 time authorities around the world that are constantly synchronizing with each other.

A variable-length byte stream encoding of Unicode used by Java and XML. Any Unicode character can be represented in UTF-8. It has numerous advantages over regular unicode for serial communication, the best of which is that C this page you can look up ASCII characters and descriptions.">ASCII strings have the same representation.
