A small graphic representing an application, option, pop-up menu object, or command. You can activate an icon to bring about an action.

integrated development environment. A set of programs that work together to facilitate programming of applications. For example, an IDE can include a text editor, a complier, and a debugger, all of which function from a single interface.

interface definition language. A language that describes the rules for communicating with a function or program module. For example, an object in a CORBA environment are defined by an IDL, which describes inputs and outputs for the object.

Internet Inter-ORB Protocol. The CORBA protocol used on TCP/IP networks. IIOP provides an interface between TCP/IP and GIOP, the protocol used by ORBs (Object Request Brokers).

A NetWare feature that requires no coding on the part of an application developer. If TTS™ is enabled on a server, TTS tracks all transactions to all transactional files (including transactions made by the NetWare® OS to bindery files). Implicit transaction tracking is designed to work transparently with existing multiuser software that uses record locking (physical or logical). See also explicit transaction tracking.

IRF. An entry in an object's ACL that specifies which rights can and cannot flow down to the object and its subordinates.

Only inherited rights can be filtered. Rights granted at the current level, either by explicit assignment or by security equivalence, cannot be blocked.

The Supervisor right can be blocked to an object but not to a file or directory. Object rights and property rights are inherited and filtered separately; therefore, object and property rights can be blocked individually without affecting each other.

A binary value that specifies a combination of rights in the NetWare file system. When a trustee has no assigned rights to a file or directory, the trustee inherits rights from a superior directory for which rights are assigned. The inherited rights mask can be used to modify those inherited rights. If the inherited rights mask is 0, the trustee inherits all rights from the superior directory. In NetWare 4 this term was rendered obsolete by the inherited rights filter.

One of two cursors on an NLM screen. The input cursor indicates the starting column/row position on the screen where the blinking cursor will be located when a function that takes input from the keyboard is called.

IDE. A set of programs that work together to facilitate programming of applications. For example, an IDE can include a text editor, a complier, and a debugger, all of which function from a single interface.

IDL. A language that describes the rules for communicating with a function or program module. For example, an object in a CORBA environment are defined by an IDL, which describes inputs and outputs for the object.

The process of adapting software for use with multiple languages.

International Network. A world-wide, cooperative, virtual network of computers. It is a collection of networks and routers (ARPANET, MILNET, NFSnet, and so on) that uses TCP/IP protocol suite.

IP address. A unique, 32-bit, software address assigned to all hosts on an IP internet.It is divided into two parts: a network and a node address. For every computer, the network portion of its address must coincide with every other computer on the network. The node, or host, portion, however, must be unique.

IIOP. The CORBA protocol used on TCP/IP networks. IIOP provides an interface between TCP/IP and GIOP, the protocol used by ORBs (Object Request Brokers).

IP. The network layer protocol of TCP/IP. IP enables dissimilar nodes in a heterogeneous environment to communicate with one another. IP defines the form that packets must take and the ways to handle packets when they are transmitted or received.

Two or more networks connected by a router, bridge, or gateway. Users on an internetwork can use the resources (files, printers, and so forth) of all connected networks if they have security clearance.

IPX. A Novell® protocol that provides connectionless, datagram delivery of messages. IPX is based on Xerox* Corporation's internetwork packet protocol, XNS.

In symmetric multiprocessing, an architecture in which all interrupts can be handled by any processor and all I/O devices in the system can be directly accessed by every processor.

Internet Protocol. The network layer protocol of TCP/IP. IP enables dissimilar nodes in a heterogeneous environment to communicate with one another. IP defines the form that packets must take and the ways to handle packets when they are transmitted or received.

A unique. 32-bit address assigned to hosts on an IP internet. Consisting of network and node portions, the address is represented in standard decimal notation (for example, 123.45.6.7).

Internetwork Packet Exchange. A Novell protocol that provides connectionless, datagram delivery of messages. IPX is based on Xerox* Corporation's internetwork packet protocol, XNS.

An address made up of a 4-byte network number, a 6-byte node number, and a 2-byte socket number. The network number is assigned to each LAN segment, server, or router. The node number identifies a specific system and is typically the number assigned by the manufacturer or the network interface device. The socket number distinguishes processes within the same computer.

inherited rights filter. An entry in an object's ACL that specifies which rights can and cannot flow down to the object and its subordinates.

Only inherited rights can be filtered. Rights granted at the current level, either by explicit assignment or by security equivalence, cannot be blocked.

The Supervisor right can be blocked to an object but not to a file or directory. Object rights and property rights are inherited and filtered separately; therefore, object and property rights can be blocked individually without affecting each other.

Industry Standard Architecture. A commonly accepted industry standard for the bus design used on the IBM* PC/XT, which makes use of plug-in boards and expansion slots.

Integrated Services Digital Network. An evolving set of standards for a digital network that carries both voice and data communication.

A bindery property that contains a single bindery object. See also binderybindery and SET property.
