eDirectory Agent
eDirectory Agent queries Novell eDirectory for user logon session information at a given interval. eDirectory Agent associates each authenticated user with an IP address, and records user name-to-IP-address pairings to a local user map. This user map is also written to a backup file named eDirAgent.bak.
eDirectory Agent supplies this information to Filtering Service for use in applying policies to requests.
