TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities (5722-TC1)
• Options to create new database files using the system or user default CCSID.
• Ability to transfer files larger than 2 GB in all file systems that support these file sizes.
The
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is used by thin clients, such as the IBM Network
Station, to receive their initial program load. The iSeries TFTP server includes an extension
called broadcast TFTP that dramatically improves load time when many Network Stations are
requesting loads simultaneously (for example, after a power outage).
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) on the iSeries
OS/400 provides an LDAP-accessible directory server and corresponding APIs that
communicate with other LDAP directory servers. APIs are provided for both OS/400 and
Windows applications written in Java, C, and C++. LDAP-enabled applications, such as
Internet mail clients, can access, update, and manage the iSeries directory.
You can develop OS/400 applications to use LDAP for managing distributed information
across the Internet and intranets using LDAP directories for both IBM and non-IBM platforms.
iSeries user information, such as e-mail addresses, is accessible to mail clients and other
LDAP applications.
Directory Services implements SecureWay Directory for OS/400. This provides support for
LDAP V3. LDAP V3 includes support for internal characters (UTF-8), which supports national
language data and is a mixed, multibyte codepage. LDAP V3 also provides support for
dynamic schema where the schema is stored in the directory and is managed by the LDAP
server. The schemas can be updated using the new Directory Management Tool, importing
from an Lightweight Directory Access Protocol Data Interchange Format (LDIF) file, or from
LDAP command line utilities.
• Directory Management Tool (DMT) to administer directory contents and schema. DMT
is a GUI tool used to manage LDAP directory content. It is part of the Windows LDAP
client, which is included with iSeries Directory Services. Use the Directory
Management Tool to:
– Browse the directory schema
– Add, edit, and delete object classes and attributes
– Browse and search the directory tree
• SecureWay Directory schemas support the IBM standard object classes and attributes
to enable your LDAP directory for applications using the IBM schema.
• Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) is supported and is a method for
adding authentication support to connection-based protocols. The SASL External
mechanism can be used to establish secure client connections that use SSL client
authentication. The SASL CRAM-MD5 mechanism provides a one-way encryption
mechanism to securely authenticate clients without incurring the overhead associated
with SSL.
