A task provides a set of logic for performing some type of processing in the server. Tasks are generally used to perform administrative functions within the server. Examples of tasks available for use include:
Adding a new file to the server schema
Restore a previous backup
Performing an LDIF import operation
Performing an LDIF export operation
Initializing a replica in the server replication environment
Performing an in-core restart
Performing a server shutdown
Tasks can be recurring, that is scheduled to execute at regular intervals according to a specific schedule. For example, backup tasks can be made recurring in order to back up the server data on a regular basis. See Scheduling and Configuring Tasks in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administration Guide for Oracle Unified Directory for information about scheduling tasks.
The server time limit is a configuration option that controls the maximum length of time in seconds that the server may spend processing a search operation. This is a server-wide setting and may be overridden by a per-user configuration in the ds-rlim-time-limit operational attribute in the user's entry.
The server time limit (or per-user value) may also be restricted by the time limit element in the search request message.
A transaction is a collection of one or more read and/or write operations that occur within a database. Transactions may be described by the acronym ACID, which stands for atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability. The directory server uses transactions in the Berkeley DB Java Edition to ensure that multiple changes made as part of a single LDAP operation (for example, updates to both the id2entry database and to indexes).
Even though the Directory Server uses transactions internally for its operations in the database, it does not currently expose a transactional mechanism that allows clients to perform several operations as a single atomic unit. There is an Internet Draft that describes a potential mechanism for exposing transactions (draft-zeilenga-ldap-txn), but the directory server does not currently support this capability.
The Transport Security Layer (TLS) is a mechanism for securing network communication between clients and servers. It is the name given to the standardized form of the Secure Sockets Layer.
In most cases, the term “SSL” is preferred over “TLS” because it is the more popular term, and also to avoid confusion with the StartTLS extended operation.
See LDAP true filter
A trust manager provider is a component of the server that can provide information that can be used to determine whether to trust certificates presented to the server.
See the Trust Manager Provider Configuration for information about the trust manager providers available for use in the directory server.
The TypesOnly flag is an element of an search operation that indicates whether attributes returned as part of search result entry should include only the attribute description or both the attribute description and the attribute value.
