1. Preamble
This article focuses on the integration between the AXIGEN messaging solution and the eDirectory Services product developed by Novell. The actual level of interaction between the solutions is limited to the user authentication process. Specifically, by following the steps described herein, you will be able to allow the authentication process, that AXIGEN usually performs using the internal database, to be outsourced into eDirectory. This simplifies credential management and ensures password consistency across multiple applications and network services.
2. AXIGEN Configuration
Prior to proceeding with the AXIGEN / eDirectory Services authentication configuration, you need to enable the LDAP interface for the Novell eDirectory service. Please consult the eDirectory user manual provided by the product vendor on how to achieve this if not already enabled.
Before the AXIGEN server can authenticate account credentials using eDirectory, you need to create an LDAP connector suited for this process:
- Log in with an administrative user that has sufficient privileges in the AXIGEN WebAdmin interface;
- Go to the LDAP Connectors tab in the Clustering Setup context;
- Add a new LDAP connector or edit an already existing one;
- Enter the IP / Hostname and Port values that reflect the eDirectory configuration;
- Specify the server type as OpenLDAP, as it closely resembles the eDirectory setup;
- Select the Use anonymous bind radio button;
- Enter the Account base DN value. Should look similar to dc=novell, dc=local;
- Leave the other options unchanged (should be set to default if already modified) and save the new configuration.
Next, the authentication method has to be changed in the AXIGEN configuration. Note that this setting is global and affect all services that interact with account login processes:
- Go to the Routing and Authentication tab in the Clustering Setup context;
- In the Authentication Type section, select LDAP Password from the drop down box;
- Select the Novell eDirectory connector you configured in the second drop-down box;
- Click the Save Configuration button at the bottom of the page.
After these two procedures are completed, the AXIGEN Mail Server services will perform a LDAP lookup for the uid attribute of each eDirectory entry and match it against the AXIGEN account name. This enables all accounts to log in using their eDirectory credentials and perform a bound lookup after being correctly authenticated.

RNCOS has recently added a new Market Research Report titled, “Booming Consumer Electronics Market in India” to its report gallery. India has an increasingly affluent middle class population that, on the back of rapid economic growth, has made the country’s consumer electronics industry highly dynamic. The industry has been witnessing significant growth in recent years due to several factors, such as retail boom, growing disposable income and availability of easy finance schemes. But still, the consumer electronics goods, like refrigerators, microwave and washing machines, have low penetration in the country, representing vast room for future growth. This is attracting many foreign majors to the country, says our new research "Booming Consumer Electronics Market in India”.
The report finds that since the penetration of several products like TVs and refrigerators are reaching saturation in the urban areas, the markets for these products are shifting to the semi-urban and rural areas.
This analytical research thoroughly evaluates the Indian consumer electronics industry. It briefly discusses about the current and emerging trends in the industry, underlining the future potential areas and key issues crucial for the industry development.
"Booming Consumer Electronics Market in India” offers extensive research on various consumer electronics products that are broadly classified as home appliances, audio/video appliances, mobile handsets, and PC market. It provides an insight into the emerging and potential future trend in all the categories and highlights the key strategies that need to be worked upon to get success in the highly competitive industry.
The report thoroughly analyzes the historic performance and future prospects, offering 4-year industry forecast, of following consumer electronics products:

- The market for televisions in India is changing rapidly from the conventional CRT technology to Flat Panel Display Televisions (FPTV). Currently, the split between CRT and FPTV is around 97% and 3% respectively, and the share of FPTV is projected to increase at robust rate in near future.
- Frost-free refrigerator sales, certainly growing at a much faster pace than the direct-cool category, are anticipated to drive the Indian refrigerators market over the forecast period.
- The AC market in India is projected to grow at 30% to 35% for the coming few years.
- Driven by young population, demand for MP3 players and digital video appliances are anticipated to surge at double-digit rate in near future.
- The low penetration level of consumer electronics goods coupled with increasing preference for comfort and luxurious goods are widely attracting the foreign as well as domestic players to the industry.

USB Pen Drive
|
|
|
USB Pen Drive is a small keyring-sized device that can be used to easily transfer files between USB-compatible systems. Available in a range of capacities (and in some cases, with an MP3 player built-in) this handy little gizmo can save all those data-transfer hassles.
How do I use it?
Simple. Plug it into the USB port* of your PC (or Mac!) and watch the system automatically detect the new device. Take at look at your system drives... a new drive has been created! The operating system can now access your USB Pen Drive just like any ordinary Hard Disk Drive.
Copy across all the files you want to the 'new' drive, wait for the Read/Write LED on the USB Pen Drive to stop flashing then disconnect it. That's it. Your files are now safely stored on your USB Pen Drive. If you want to copy those files to another PC/Mac, just plug it in the new machine, wait for it to be detected and copy them off again.
* If you don't want to reach round to the back of your PC every time to plug it in, you can use the handy Docking Bay to give you USB Pen Drive access right from your desktop.
What's USB?
For a good few years now, most Motherboards have been built with an on-board facility called USB.
USB - Universal Serial Bus, is a 'standard' developed by the computer industry to allow a vast number of different devices to be easily attached to one machine with the minimum requirement for extra drivers and software and still operate at an efficient speed.
Put simply, this means: We can plug a USB device in without switching the PC off, it will be automatically detected by the Operating System and will be ready for use in a few seconds. The USB Pen Drive is one of those devices.
Summary
This is file transfer/storage in its safest and most convenient form.
The USB Pen Drive is shock-proof, dust-proof and weighing a mere 21 grams, it needs no batteries, has no moving parts and is available in range of capacities from 32MB to a massive 1GB!
It's supported by Windows ME/2000/XP, Mac OS (ver. 8.6 or above) and Linux kernel (version 2.4.0 or above) without drivers, Windows 98/Windows 95 OSR2 (with supplied USB Driver).
USB Drive Uses
Small enough to hook onto a keychain, USB pen drive emulates a small disk drive and allows data to be transferred easily from one device to another. The way it works is very simple. It also works very fast. Since it is a relatively newer device, manufacturers are launching it with added capabilities and higher storage power. Some of the purposes for which it can be used are discussed below.
To transport personal data
The commonest use of USB pen drive is to transport or store personal files such as documents, pictures and video. One can also store medical alert information for emergency use or as preparation against disaster.
Repairing computer
Successful usage of USB pen drive has been noticed in the PC repair field as a means to transfer recovery and antivirus software to infected PCs. It also allows a portion of the host machine's data to be archived in it in case of emergency.
System administrators’ helper
System and network administrators find USB pen drive highly handy to load them with configuration information and software used for system maintenance, troubleshooting, and recovery. Such use of this portable device makes it popular among them.
As an application carrier
USB pen drives are used to carry applications that run on the host computer without the necessity of installation. U3, backed by pen drive vendors, offers an API to pen drive-specific functions. Portableapps, a free and open-source software, has also been developed to allow U3-like functionality on non-U3 drives. airWRX is also an application framework that runs from a pen drive and turns its PC host and other nearby PCs into a multi-screen, web-like work environment.
