Info on Global Directory Agent

Question:

Customer has purchased DCE Cell Directory Service/6000 (CDS) and 
the Global Directory Server (GDS, X.500). 

Is the "Global Directory Agent" (gdad) included?

Does GDS support subordinate OU for DCE intercell naming?  

Response:

The Global Directory Agent is included in the DCE
Cell Directory Server product.

The default schema for GDS does
not support the subordinate OU (/C=US/O=IBM/OU=texas/OU=dallas). The
schema can be changed to support this. Changing the default schema
should be based on the schema for the company. 

In addition, the current version of AIX DCE 1.2 (OSF 1.0.2), does not
support hierarchical intercell naming. This means you cannot do
intercell where one cell is /.../C=US/O=IBM/OU=texas and another
cell's name is /.../C=US/O=IBM/OU=texas/OU=austin.
