Resolution The itadmin utility offers a means to view and update the Naming Service.

The "ns list" option displays Naming Service entries. For example, the following command displays the content of the naming path specified:

  itadmin ns list <Naming Path>

If no naming path is specified, the above command displays the content of the root context.

Similarly, the following command displays the entire contents of the Naming Service:

  itadmin ns list -recursive


Alternatively, the "ns newnc" adds new contexts to the Naming Service:

  itadmin ns newnc <Naming Path>

In the above example, the <Path> option is delimited with forward slashes ("/").

To add an object reference to the Naming Service, the itadmin ns option "bind" is used. For example:

  itadmin ns bind -object -path <Naming Path> <Object's IOR String>

It is possible to view the IOR entries added to the naming service using the catns command. For example:

  itadmin ns resolve IT_MGMT
IOR:010000002800000049444c3a6f6d672e6f72672f436f734e616d696e672f4e616d696e67436f

Finally, entries can be removed from the Naming Service with the itadmin ns "remove" option. For example:

  itadmin ns remove -recursive <Naming Context>
