3.10.1 Abstract Data Model

This section describes a conceptual model of possible data organization that an implementation maintains to participate in this protocol. The described organization is provided to facilitate the explanation of how the protocol behaves. This document does not mandate that implementations adhere to this model as long as their external behavior is consistent with that described in this document.

The following information MUST be maintained by the server for use in responding to client queries and commands:

cluster secret: Of type BSTR (section 2.2.5), as specified in [MS-DTYP] section 2.2.5. The size of the cluster secret is not bounded by this protocol.

Fully qualified domain name (FQDN): Corresponds to the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server.
