10.6 Library Objects

Library objects store multiple policies and other resources that are shared by one or more drivers. A library object can be created in a driver set object or any eDirectory™ container. Multiple libraries can exist in an eDirectory tree. Drivers can reference any library in the tree as long as the server running the driver holds a Read/Write or Master replica of the library object.

Style sheets, policies, rules, and other resource objects can be stored in a library and be referenced by one or more drivers.
