Repeating The Site Survey - Red Hat DIRECTORY SERVER 8.1 - DEPLOYMENT Deployment Manual

Chapter 2. Planning the Directory Data
• Owner. Human Resources owns this information and therefore is responsible for updating and
changing it.
• Supplier Server/Application. The PeopleSoft application manages employee name information.
• Self Read/Write. A person can read his own name but not write (or change) it.
• Global Read. Employee names can be read anonymously by everyone with access to the directory.
• HR Writable. Members of the human resources group can change, add, and delete employee
names in the directory.
• IS Writable. Members of the information services group can change, add, and delete employee
names in the directory.

2.5. Repeating the Site Survey

There may need to be more than one site survey, particularly if an enterprise has offices in multiple
cities or countries. The informational needs might be so complex that several different organizations
have to keep information at their local offices rather than at a single, centralized site.
In this case, each office that keeps a master copy of information should perform its own site survey.
After the site survey process has been completed, the results of each survey should be returned to
a central team (probably consisting of representatives from each office) for use in the design of the
enterprise-wide data schema model and directory tree.
