This documentation describes Server-Based Bindery, its functions, and features.
Each NetWare® 3.x server includes a database, called the bindery, which is currently implemented as three hidden files (NET$OBJ.SYS, NET$PROP.SYS, and NET$VAL.SYS) located in the SYS:SYSTEM directory. The NetWare OS maintains a list in the bindery files of all objects (entities) allowed to access the server. NetWare also records information about each object in the bindery.
NOTE:For NetWare 4.x, the bindery has been replaced by the Directory. However, the Directory can simulate the bindery if bindery context is set.
