PPENDIX LOSSARY EFINITIONS
LDAP host - The LDAP domain name and DNS suffix. For
example: "yahoo.com" or "server.local".
login (or logon) script - Consists of syntax that is used for
re-authenticating a user if the network connection between
the user's machine and the server is lost.
machine name - Pertains to the name of the user's work-
station machine (computer).
minimum filtering level - A set of library categories and
service ports defined at the global level to be blocked or
opened. If the minimum filtering level is established, it is
applied in conjunction with a user's filtering profile. If a user
does not belong to a group, or the user's group does not
have a filtering profile, the default (global) filtering profile is
used, and the minimum filtering level does not apply to that
user. If the minimum filtering level is set up to block a library
category, this setting will override an always allowed setting
for that category in a user's profile. Minimum filtering level
settings can be overridden by profile settings made in over-
ride accounts, exception URL settings, and use of the
"bypass all" Rule setting.
name resolution - A process that occurs when the Web
Filter attempts to resolve the IP address of the authentica-
tion server with the machine name of that server. This
continuous and regulated automated procedure ensures the
connection between the two servers is maintained.
net use - A command that is used for connecting a
computer to—or disconnecting a computer from—a shared
resource, or displaying information about computer connec-
tions. The command also controls persistent net connec-
tions.
NetBIOS - Network Basic Input Output System is an appli-
cation programming interface (API) that augments the DOS
BIOS by adding special functions to local-area networks
(LANs). Almost all LANs for PCs are based on the NetBIOS.
