Abstract
According to a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of operating a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, LDAP, directory client.

Claims24
A method of operating a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, LDAP, directory client, the method comprising:
- when an LDAP operation is required to be performed for multiple directory entries:
- generating a message requesting the LDAP operation, the request message specifying how a distinguished name of each of the multiple directory entries can be determined;
- and
- sending the request message to a LDAP directory server.
A method of operating an Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, LDAP, directory server, the method comprising:
- receiving a message from a LDAP directory client, the message requesting an LDAP operation and specifying how a distinguished name can be determined for each of multiple directory entries;
- determining the distinguished name of each of the multiple directory entries;
- and
- implementing the requested operation for each of the multiple directory entries.
An apparatus configured to operate as a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, LDAP, directory client, the apparatus comprising:
- an operation request unit configured to:
- generate a message requesting an LDAP operation;
- and
- include in the request message information specifying how a distinguished name can be determined for each of multiple directory entries;
- and
- a transmitter configured to send the request message to a LDAP directory server.
An apparatus configured to operate as a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, LDAP, directory server, the apparatus comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a message from a LDAP directory client, the request message requesting an LDAP operation;
- an operation performance unit configured to:
- determine if the request message specifies how a distinguished name can be determined for each of multiple directory entries;
- and,
- if the request message specifies how the distinguished name can be determined for each of the multiple directly entries, determine the distinguished name of each of the multiple directory entries and implementing the requested operation for each of the multiple directory entries.
