bindery

networking A Novell Netware database that contains

definitions for entities such as users, groups, and

workgroups. The bindery allows the network supervisor to

design an organised and secure operating environment based on

the individual requirements of each of these entities.

The bindery has three components: objects, properties, and

property data sets. Objects represent any physical or logical

entity, including users, user groups, file servers.

Properties are characteristics of each object (e.g.

passwords, account restrictions, internetwork addresses).

Property data sets are the values assigned to an entity's

bindery properties.
