Using Posadmin To Manage The Ldap Directory - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE 11 - SUBSCRIPTION MANAGEMENT TOOL GUIDE 10-02-2009 Manual

2. Below this scLocation, a search is made for an object of objectClass:
scServerContainer (server).
3. Below this scServerContainer, a search is made for an object of
objectClass: scBranchServer with cn=bs.
4. Data specific to this server is located below this scBranchServer object, such
as objects of objectClass: scNetworkcard in which the IP addresses are
indicated.
5. All the data that generally applies to this hardware type, such as the partitioning,
is read from a reference object of objectClass: scRefServer in which
this hardware is described. These reference objects are always organized as contain-
ers in an object of objectClass: scRefObjectContainer.
6. Next, the reference objects that are valid for this Branch Server are located. First,
the attribute scRefServerDn in the scBranchServer object that represents
this server is read. If a DN is included here, the target is used as the reference object
for the Branch Server.
7. If the entry is empty, the search for an object of the objectClass:
scHardware moves upward in the directory structure, one level at a time. If the
attribute scRefServerDn is occupied in this type of object, this DN is taken as
the target; if not, the search continues upward in the directory structure. If no ap-
propriate object with this attribute is found all the way up to the root level, the
process aborts with an error.
The procedure is similar for Point of Service terminal hardware. In this example, in
addition to the referenced hardware type (through attribute scRefPcDn to a
scCashRegister object), scPosImageDn points to the reference image,
scPosImage object.
