What s more, JDesignerPro can reuse existing modules within new applications with no addi-tional coding. Network space is provided for professors and their students, and access rights are granted through the same single userID and password students use for access to the network. Like class e-mail lists, NDS groups are set up and maintained automatically based on the class enrollment. Students can access their class workspaces and other resources from the network and across the Internet for the submission of papers, storage of class notes and syllabus, access to group folders, library materials and class discussions. Connections to NDS and various LDAP servers can saved for future use.
Users can also bind to the connection at various levels of context.
NDS attributes and classes may be added and modified. Another unique function allows users to automatically retrieve dn context from LDAP v3 servers with only the hostname and port number. With CourseShare, faculty members can create and manage folders on the network to store course information, as well as student and group folders. Automating the creation of groups and trustees makes the job for system administrators easier. NDS provides a secure, reliable back end, while CourseShare offers a single point of administration and single point of access for users.
