Communication interface for handling multiple operations

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:
• receive an initial request from a computing device, wherein the initial request comprises a payload specifying multiple operations to be performed on a resource at a directory system, and wherein the initial request is received in a format according to a first communication protocol supported by the computing device;
• process the initial request to identify multiple methods associated with the first communication protocol for performing the multiple operations;
• generate a subsequent request to perform the multiple operations in accordance with a second communication protocol that is supported by the directory system, wherein the second communication protocol is different from the first communication protocol, and wherein the generating comprises:
• determining the multiple operations to be performed in accordance with a second communication protocol based on a mapping between the multiple methods associated with the first communication protocol and the multiple operations in a format of the second communication protocol supported by the directory system;
• and
• generating the subsequent request to include a payload specifying the multiple operations in the format of the second communication protocol;
• send the subsequent request to the directory system for performance of the multiple operations;
• a result of the directory system performing the multiple operations on the resource;
• generate a response in accordance with the first communication protocol, wherein the response includes the result of the directory system performing the multiple operations on the resource;
• and
• send the response to the computing device.

A computer-program product tangibly embodied in a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• receive, by a communication system, an initial request from a computing device, wherein the initial request comprises a payload specifying multiple operations to be performed on a resource at a directory system, and wherein the initial request is received in a format according to a first communication protocol supported by the computing device;
• process, by the communication system, the initial request to identify multiple methods associated with the first communication protocol for performing the multiple operations;
• generate, by the communication system, a subsequent request to perform the multiple operations in accordance with a second communication protocol that is supported by the directory system, wherein the second communication protocol is different from the first communication protocol, and wherein the generating comprises:
• determining the multiple operations to be performed in accordance with a second communication protocol based on a mapping between the multiple methods associated with the first communication protocol and the multiple operations in a format of the second communication protocol supported by the directory system;
• and
• generating the subsequent request to include a payload specifying the multiple operations in the format of the second communication protocol;
• send, by the communication system, the subsequent request to the directory system for performance of the multiple operations;
• receive, at the communication system, a result of the directory system performing the multiple operations on the resource;
• generate, by the communication system, a response in accordance with the first communication protocol, wherein the response includes the result of the directory system performing the multiple operations on the resource;
• and
• send, by the communication system, the response to the computing device.
