This section describes what an Open Server application needs to do to use directory services. It has these sections:
Specifying the directory driver
Registering an Open Server application with a directory
A directory stores information as directory entries and associates a logical name with each entry. Each directory entry contains information about some network entity such as a user, a server, or a printer. A directory service (sometimes called a naming service) manages creation, modification, and retrieval of directory entries.
See the Open Client Client-Library/C Reference Manual for more information, and for information about how a client uses directory services.
