SLP Scope Container Object

SLP Service Object

Directory Agent Object

NCP Server Object

The SLP Scope container object is the storage container for SLP service
information. Each object contains all the SLP Service objects for the specific
scope. The NDS administrator can replicate the container into other partitions
within the tree or within federated trees. The object is a stand-alone entity
within the NDS tree and there is no relationship between its distinguished
name, the tree name, and the scope name. When a Service agent forwards a
service record to a Directory agent within a specific scope, the scope name is
mapped to the Scope object by using the name attribute within the container
object. The SLP Scope object must contain rights to read, write, and browse
the container because the access rights of the Directory Agent object access
are equivalent to the access rights of the Scope object.Because the Scope
object uses distinguished name syntax, the Scope object can be moved to a
different location in the tree and NDS will automatically change all values to
reflect the new location.
The SLP Service object is a leaf object that represents a service registration.
SLP Service objects are subordinate to the SLP Scope object and contain all
information supplied by a service registration. SLP Service objects are stored
in the appropriate SLP Scope object according to their scope.
The SLP Directory Agent object is a leaf object that represents a single
instance of a Directory agent. Multiple Directory agents cannot share a single
object. This object defines the Directory agent's configuration, scope, and
security. The Directory agent uses this object to log in to the server and operate
under the access control requirements assigned to the NCP Server object.
The NetWare installation program creates an NCP_SERVER object for every
server within the tree. The Directory agent adds an attribute to the
NCP_SERVER class definition called SLP Directory Agent DN. The SLP
Directory Agent DN contains the distinguished name of the Directory Agent
object. It is used as a pointer from the NCP Server object to the Directory
Agent object.
