Service Publication in Active Directory
Service Publication in Active Directory |
|
To publish a service in Active Directory, a directory-enabled service must store, as a minimum requirement, its binding information. Service bindings are the information a client uses to connect, or bind, to an instance of a given service. The information needed to bind to a service includes the service name and its location. For example, a World Wide Web browser binds to a Web server by using a Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
Table 5.2 lists examples of service bindings.
Table 5.2 Examples of Service Bindings
| Service | Binding |
|---|---|
| File Service | Universal Naming Convention (UNC) name for a share
Example: \\MyServer\MyshareName |
| Web Service | URL
Example: http://www.reskit.com |
| RPC Service | RPC binding, encoded information used to connect to the RPC server. RPC bindings can be converted to and from strings with the RPC APIs
Example: ncacn_ip_tcp:server.microsoft.com |
