3.3.2.4.1 Query with Entry Name

  • Article

If the entry name is specified in the lookup, the following actions MUST be taken:

  1. The client locator MUST form the entry FQDN, as specified in section 3.1.1.1, and issue an LDAP query (see LDAP Operation Details, section 2.2.6).

  2. The client locator MUST check whether the Active Directory object is of class rpcServer, rpcGroup, or rpcProfile to determine whether it represents a name service entry of type server, group, or profile entry, respectively.

  3. If the object is of class rpcServer or rpcProfile, the client locator MUST issue an LDAP query (see LDAP Operation Details, section 2.2.6) to look up child Active Directory objects representing the interfaces or profile elements associated with the name service entry.

  4. If the Active Directory object is a group or profile entry, the client locator MUST perform one of the following additional actions:

    • If the name service entry is a group entry, the client locator MUST issue LDAP queries (see LDAP Operation Details, section 2.2.6) to enumerate the name service entries that are members of the group. The entry FQDN is formed by concatenating the scheme (ldap:) to the LDAP URL strings in the rpcNsGroup attribute, as specified in section 2.2.5.1.2.

    • If the name service entry is a profile entry, the client locator MUST issue LDAP queries (see LDAP Operation Details, section 2.2.6) to enumerate the name service entries that are referred to by the profile elements. The entry FQDN is formed by concatenating the scheme (ldap:) to the LDAP URL string in the rpcNsProfileEntry attribute, as specified in section 2.2.5.1.2.<18>
