Chapter 16       Naming Attributes


The Naming Attributes are global attributes. The values applied to them are carried across the iPlanet Directory Server Access Management Edition (DSAME) configuration and inherited by every configured organization. (They can not be applied directly to roles or organizations as the goal of global attributes is to customize the DSAME application.)

The Naming Service allows clients to find the correct service URL if the platform is running more than one DSAME server. When a naming URL is found, the naming service will decode the session of the user and dynamically replace the protocol, host, and port with the parameters from the session. This ensures that the URL returned for the service is for the host that the user session was created on. The Naming Attributes are:

• Profile Service URL

• Session Service URL

• Logging Service URL

This syntax allows for dynamic substitution of the session URL based on the specific session parameters.
