What is Bindery Services?
fact
Novell NetWare 4.2
Novell NetWare 4.11
Formely TID 2908960.
cause
Some applications and services which run in the NetWare 4.1 environment do not currently take full advantage of NDS technology. To enable users of these services to access them from the NetWare 4.1 environment, Novell created bindery services.
With bindery services, NDS imitates a flat structure for leaf objects within a set of Organization (O) and Organizational Unit (OU) objects. Thus, when bindery services
is enabled, all objects within the specified container's bindery context can be accessed both by NDS objects and by bindery-based servers and client workstations.
fix
The container object where bindery services is set is called the bindery context. You can change the bindery context by using the appropriate parameters with the SET or SERVMAN server utility.
Specify one or more containers to be used by NetWare Directory Services when it provides bindery services. Maximum: 256 characters. Up to 16 contexts. Multiple
contexts are separated by semicolons.
Examples:
SET BINDERY CONTEXT=ACCT.HQ.ACME
SET BINDERY CONTEXT=OU=SALES.O=NOVELL;OU=AR.OU=ACCOUNTING.O=NOVELL
NOTE: A read/write replica of the Directory partition that provides the bindery context is stored on the server that you want bindery services enabled on. However, by default, only the first three servers installed on a partition or upgraded from a bindery to NDS receive a replica of the partition during the installation procedure and are
able to subsequently support bindery services. You can still add replicas to other servers if needed for bindery services.
Logging In to NetWare 4.1 with a NetWare Bindery Connection
CLIENT32 and GUI login
Select the CONNECTION tab
Select the SERVER option and enter the name of the bindery server
Check the BINDERY CONNECTION box
