Components

The DND system is composed of a server and a number of client programs. See also the DND project page

  • DND Server - The DND server holds the database and handles lookup, editing, validation, and administrative requests from clients. The DND can use a text file, Oracle database, or LDAP directory as a back-end data store. At Dartmouth, our central LDAP directory is the back-end, so the same information is available to DND and LDAP clients.
  • Client libraries - DND client libraries are available for a variety of languages, including C, Perl, and Java. See the DND Wiki for the latest list.
  • DND Sendmail Modifications - Dartmouth runs a modified sendmail on its mailhub that redirects mail to user.name@dartmouth.edu to the user's preferred e-mail address as stored in the DND.
