IT Administrator: How it Works<br />
The <strong>Integration</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong> Administrator allows a user with administration privileges to create, modify, and delete<br />
objects on an <strong>LDAP</strong> server. The objects that the administrator can manage are grouped into five categories:<br />
Publish Framework<br />
Publish channels and subscribers, including subscriber groups<br />
SAS Configuration<br />
SAS servers, spawners, and SAS logins<br />
SAS Archiving<br />
Archives and archive paths<br />
Applications<br />
Stored SAS processes and stored process paths<br />
SAS Data Sources<br />
Identifiers for SAS libraries, tables, and columns, which can then be used by clients<br />
To better understand the objects that the Administrator creates as well as the relationships between the objects, let's<br />
look at the structure of the <strong>LDAP</strong> directory.<br />
<strong>LDAP</strong> Overview<br />
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (<strong>LDAP</strong>) was created to help manage network data such as users,<br />
resources, and security from a central location.<br />
Conceptually, an <strong>LDAP</strong> server maintains a hierarchy of objects. An object is made up of name/value pairs called<br />
attributes. An object is based on a class, which defines which attributes are required for the object, and which are<br />
optional. The set of defined classes and their attributes is called the Directory Schema.<br />
The layout of the classes is called the Directory Information Tree (DIT). Beginning from the top of the tree, the path<br />
to each class in the tree is called its distinguished name. Each distinguished name in the tree is unique. Distinguished<br />
names are defined from the lower element up to the root, which is typically a country (c), followed by an organization<br />
(o).<br />
In the tree below, the root of the tree is o=SAS Institute, c=US.<br />
The distinguished name for the ABC Toys entry is cn=ABC Toys, o=SAS Institute, c=US.<br />
c=US<br />
o=SAS Institute (the base)<br />
cn=ABC Toys<br />
cn=SAS<br />
