5.0 The Novell Linux Point of Service LDAP Directory

All system information (system structure, the configuration and deployment method for each Branch Server, available client images, and Point of Service terminal types) is stored in an LDAP directory on the Administration Server.

The Novell® Linux Point of Service LDAP directory can run on OpenLDAP or Novell eDirectory™.

NOTE:posInitLdap provides an LDAP LDIF file that defines the directory schema and the initial records. This LDIF file can be imported into IBM Tivoli Directory Server to run the Novell Linux Point of Service LDAP directory on IBM Directory Services.

This section reviews the Novell Linux Point of Service LDAP directory.

LDAP entries are managed using the posAdmin tool. For more information on posAdmin, see Section 6.0, Using posAdmin to Manage the LDAP Directory.
