Winsock And Discovery Is Netware Only; Uddi And Discovery; Cimom And Discovery; Slp - Novell OPEN ENTERPRISE SERVER - PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE 12-2010 Implementation Manual

Starting with NetWare 5 and pure TCP/IP, the Service Location Protocol was adopted as the default,
though optional, discovery mechanism. SLP was chosen because it was the TCP/IP-based protocol
most like SAP in its automatic nature and dynamic refresh capabilities.

12.4.2 WinSock and Discovery Is NetWare only

There is no WinSock equivalent in the Linux environment. BSDSock provides for transport only,
not name resolution. Therefore, services that leveraged WinSock on NetWare use other service-
discovery mechanisms on OES 2.

12.4.3 UDDI and Discovery

UDDI is an open source, platform-independent registry that lets you provide a discovery service on
the World Wide Web to easily locate, integrate, and manage businesses and services.
For NetWare 6.5, Novell developed a directory-enabled UDDI server for use with the exteNd J2EE
Application Server. Starting with NetWare 6.5 SP3, the UDDI server component was removed from
the list of products that could be installed.
The Novell UDDI server has been released as open source software and is available for download on
the Novell Forge Web site (http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/
showfiles.php?group_id=1025).

12.4.4 CIMOM and Discovery

The current OpenWBEM implementation of the Common Information Model Object Manager
(CIMOM) lists SLP as an optional discovery provider. If SLP is to be used with CIMOM, it must be
in compliance with the SLP API specification (RFC 2614). The default discovery vehicle for
CIMOM is the statically configured URI. For more information, see the CIMOM specification at the
Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF) Web site

12.5 SLP

The OpenSLP services on OES 2 are compatible with NetWare SLP services.
